Career

[edit | edit source]

Faal began his career in the youth team at Chingford-based Ryan before completing a scholarship at Boreham Wood from 2013 to 2015.[3] He then joined Italian club L'Aquila in the 2015–16 season.[4] He played eight times in Lega Pro and Serie D,[citation needed] and also played in the Promozione on loan at San Gregorio, before returning to England and joining Waltham Forest at the start of the 2017–18 season. After only one game, he joined Dulwich Hamlet,[5] where he played 25 times in all competitions[6] and scored six times.[7][8][9] Faal joined Kingstonian on loan in March 2018[10] where he scored seven times in eight games.[11] The loan was made permanent at the end of the season.

Faal joined Enfield Town in December 2018. After only five appearances in the remainder of the 2018–19 season, he went on trial at Dumbarton[12] before returning to North London and scoring 24 goals in 25 games in all competitions in the first half of the 2019–20 season before joining Bolton Wanderers on an 18-month contract on 6 January 2020.[13][14] He made his debut on 11 January in a 0–2 defeat against Rochdale, coming on as a substitute for Sonny Graham in the 66th minute.[15] After spending the first few months of the 2020–21 season injured, Faal joined Barnet on a season-long loan on 6 November 2020, with an option to make the deal permanent in January.[16][17] On 19 May 2021, Bolton announced that he would be released at the end of his contract.[18] Faal re-joined Enfield Town in August 2021.[19] His first game came on 14 August where he scored twice in a 4–2 win against Carshalton Athletic.[20]

On 2 August 2022, Faal joined National League South club Havant & Waterloovile following the expiration of his contract with Enfield Town.[21] In January 2024, he joined Maidstone United on loan for the remainder of the season.[22]

On 22 July 2024, Faal joined League One club Crawley Town on a six-month contract.[23][24] Faal made no appearances for Crawley before joining Worthing in September.[25] Having finished the season as the club's top goalscorer, his departure was confirmed on 26 June 2025.[26]

On 15 August 2025, Faal signed an 18 month contract with League of Ireland Premier Division club Waterford.[27] On 25 November 2025, it was announced that Faal's Waterford contract had been terminated by mutual consent, having failed to score a goal in 8 appearances in all competitions for the club.[28]
