Early and personal life

Sangare was born in Monrovia, Liberia, [3] and moved to England at the age of 14. [4] His younger brother, Faisu, was part of the Wolverhampton Wanderers under-23 setup. [5]

Club career

Sangare has played club football in England for Accrington Stanley and Newcastle United. [4] He was promoted to Newcastle's first-team in July 2019. [6]

He returned to Accrington Stanley on loan in August 2020. [7]

In May 2022, it was announced that Sangare would be released at the end of his contract. [8] Later that month it was announced that he would return to Accrington Stanley when his Newcastle contract expires on 1 July. [9]

In June 2023, it was announced Sangare would join Livingston. [10] He left the club in July 2024. [11]

Following his departure from Livingston, Sangare signed for Swiss club Bellinzona on a one-year contract. [12]

On 20 August 2025, Sangare returned to England, joining National League club Morecambe as the club's first signing following their takeover. [13]

International career

Sangare received his first call-up to the Liberia national team in August 2018, for upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches. [4] He had to withdraw from the squad twice as he was awaiting his UK residence permit to be re-issued, meaning he was unable to travel. [14] [15] He was recalled by the Liberian senior national team in March 2019. [16]

He made his debut for the Liberia national football team on 24 March 2019 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against DR Congo, coming on as a 73rd-minute substitute for Allen Njie. [17]
