Early career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Serrekunda of The Gambia, Jadama moved to Atlanta, Georgia when he was 9 years old.[2] At the age of 10, he got selected for a team called Stars, introduced to him by his cousin.[2] He played varsity football for 3 years for Milton High School and also the Norcross Soccer Academy.[3] He was also an Olympic Development Program (ODP) player from 2007-2010.[3] Jadama also trained with Elon University, but soon left to join Universidad de Chile.[1]

Chile

[edit | edit source]

Jadama signed with Universidad de Chile in 2012, soon returning to the U.S. to finish high school but returned to play for their reserve team.[2] After that, he went to train in Italy and Leipzig but left to play for Colo-Colo in August 2013, signing a 2 year contract with their reserve team in the 2013–14 Segunda División Profesional.[4][1] He won the U19 league in the 2014 season, and was promoted to the first team in January 2015.[5][6]

In February 2015, he played for the Colo-Colo first team against Santiago Wanderers in the Santo Tomás Cup, which his team won by penalties.[6] He also played a total of 92 minutes in two matches of the 2015 Copa Chile, against Huachipato and Ñublense.[7] However, he tore his medial collateral ligament and was loaned to second division team Coquimbo Unido in 2016, due to a new limit on the amount foreigners allowed in a team.[8][2] He made his debut in a 1-0 win against Deportes Puerto Montt, but only made three more appearances throughout the year before his loan ended.[9] Jadama and Colo-Colo mutually agreed that he would leave at the end of the 2016 season.[2]
