On 17 September 2020, following a successful trial, Fofana signed a three-year contract with Club Brugge in the Belgian First Division A. [3] In 2020–21, Fofana made nine appearances for the club's reserve team Club NXT, competing in the second tier First Division B. [4] [5] He was regularly called up to train and play friendlies with the first-team squad, but failed to make any competitive appearances for Club Brugge. [6] [7] In late February 2021, Fofana sat on the bench in both legs against Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League's round of 16, but remained an unused substitute. [8] [9]

Hammarby IF

On 22 July 2022, Fofana joined Hammarby TFF, the feeder team of Swedish Allsvenskan club Hammarby IF. He moved on a free transfer and signed a six month-deal, with an option for a further year. [10] In 2022, he made 16 league appearances for Hammarby TFF, scoring four goals, helping the side to finish 6th in the Ettan table. [11] On 30 January 2023, Fofana was promoted to Hammarby's senior squad, signing a four-year contract. [12] [13] On 17 July, before making any competitive appearances for Hammarby, Fofana was sent on a one-year loan to Kocaelispor in the TFF First League, with an option for a permanent transfer. [14]

International career

In June 2023, Fofana was included in the final squad of the Guinean under-23 national team for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, hosted in Morocco, [15] where the Syli finished in fourth place. [16] [17]
