# Paide sign Gambians Jobarteh and Sohna to strengthen midfield
Paide have signed Gambian winger **Momodou Jobarteh** on a four-year contract as the Premium liiga side continued its strategy of recruiting and developing young overseas talent.

Jobarteh, 19, arrives from Real de Banjul, while compatriot **Pa Modou Sohna** has also joined. The 25-year-old midfielder comes to Estonia after most recently playing for BST Galaxy FC in the Gambian top flight.

Sporting director Gert Kams said both players matched the club’s profile and should fit the team’s style. “_Momodou Jobarteh is a young winger who is quick, sharp and clearly goal-oriented,_” Kams said.

On Sohna, he added: “_Pa Modou is a midfielder with a very sharp left foot and high football intelligence. He can influence matches with his qualities and will certainly give us an extra gear in the attacking third_.”

The two new signings said they were aware of previous success stories involving Gambian players at Paide and viewed the move as a key step in their careers. “_Paide is a place where players are given responsibility, trust and the chance to develop_,” they said in a joint statement.

They also noted that familiar faces in the squad would help them settle in, highlighting fellow Gambians Jarju and Badamosi.
