[1] He developed a good relation with club's coach Michael Skibbe [2] and the prospects of Suma getting a contract looked good, [3] however the sudden departure of Skibbe from Eskişehirspor left Suma with his future uncertain and Serbian side FK Jagodina moved in and offered him a contract.

Lamin Suma made his Serbian SuperLiga debut on March 31, 2012, as a substitute in a 21-round match visiting FK Vojvodina, a 0-0 draw. He made a total of 3 appearances in the 2011–12 Serbian SuperLiga. In August 2012 he agreed to a loan to Montenegrin First League side FK Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje where he played the 2012–13 season.

[8] Philadelphia Fury ended the season as champions, and Suma won the best player award of the 2016 Spring season of the American Soccer League. [9] As result, Suma signed with Sacramento Republic FC on December 5, 2016, a club playing a level higher, in the United Soccer League. [10]
