Babacar Fati, born on 1 February 2000 (age 26), is a Portuguese left-back currently with Livingston, where he wears the number three shirt.
His career is shaped above all by his spell at SJK. Across four seasons with the Finnish club, he made 65 league appearances and scored four league goals, giving him a clear body of senior work rather than the usual scattered CV of a travelling full-back.
The 2024 season was his most productive in league terms, with three goals in 25 appearances for SJK. That remains the standout campaign of his career so far, not because it made him a star, but because it showed a left-back capable of contributing at both ends over a meaningful run of games.
Fati is now at Livingston. In 2025-26, he has made two League Cup appearances for the club, with his Livingston total standing at two appearances across all competitions. His current market value is around ยฃ298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career to date is best understood through SJK: four seasons, regular league football, and a productive 2024 campaign before his move into Scottish football with Livingston.
