Born on 1 December 1993 in France, 31 year old Mohamad Sylla predominantly takes on the role of a central defensive midfielder for Dundee, donning the number 28 jersey. At 6ft 2in (1.89m) in height and carrying a weight of 12st 10lb (81kg), he is a robust presence in the centre of the field.
Valued around the mark of €125k, which equates to approximately £105k, according to Transfermarkt, his contract with Dundee is currently penned to expire at the conclusion of May, 2025, in four months time.
Sylla kicked off his professional football journey with Entente SSG in France's Lower Divisions in July 2013. His performances in French football sustained the materialisation of a transfer to England, joining Oldham Athletic in the National League in January 2019 for a fee kept undisclosed to the public.
His time in England was short-lived, as Sylla packed his bags in July 2020 and embarked on a journey back to France, signing for Ligue 2 side Laval. But the allure of English football was irresistible for Sylla as he returned in October 2021, this time to Aldershot Town in the National League.
After a season with Aldershot, Sylla moved across the border to Scotland to ply his trade for Hartlepool United in the National League in August 2022. He broke into the club's first team, making 28 appearances and found the back of the net once in league competition during his debut season in England.
Sylla continued his voyage in British football by signing for Premiership club Dundee in August 2023. Since his debut season, he has established himself as a first team regular, making consistent appearances for the Scottish club. This has continued into the current season, where he has been selected for 24 league matches.
He boosted his football credentials by playing in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Dundee, gracing the pitch as a starter six times, alongside his participation in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, where he started one match and was used as a substitute in another.
