Amadou Jawo. Biography

Amadou Jawo is a striker of Gambian descent who currently represents Djurgårdens IF. He was born on 29 September 1984 in Banjul, Gambia.

Amadou commenced his youth career at the Swedish club IK Frej. In 2004 Jawo signed a professional agreement with Vallentuna and became a part of the senior squad. During his 2004-2008 stay at Vallentuna the striker scored 9 goals in 56 matches.

In 2008 Jawo completed a move to Gefle. Unlike Vallentuna, which competed in the lower leagues, Gefle participated in Allsvenskan. Amadou’s move to Gefle was an opportunity to gain experience and attract the interest of top-flight Swedish clubs. From 2008 to 2009 Amadou Jawo netted 10 goals in 46 games for the side, including 1 goal in Svenska Cupen.

In 2009 Amadou was transferred to Elfsborg for a fee of €1 million. Since 2009 he has featured in more than 70 matches for the Swedish club.
