Club career

Early career

Juwara was born in the Gambia and embarked as a migrant to Italy in 2016. There, he started playing football with Virtus Avigliano and after a successful season was scouted by Chievo. He was banned from transferring to Chievo by the FIGC, but he challenged the hearing and eventually joined them. [2]

Juwara briefly joined Torino F.C. on loan for the 2019 Torneo di Viareggio, where he scored 3 goals in 3 matches, before returning to Verona for the end of the season. [3]

He made his professional debut for Chievo in a 0–0 Serie A tie with Frosinone Calcio on 25 May 2019, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Manuel Pucciarelli. [4]

Bologna

On 8 July 2019, Juwara signed a deal with Bologna. [5] Although he was assigned to their Under-19 squad for the 2019–20 season, he quickly began falling into Siniša Mihajlović's first-team plans, making his debut on December 4 by playing the full 90 minutes in a 4-0 Coppa Italia defeat at the hands of Udinese. [6]

His Serie A debut for the club came on February 4, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute for fellow-countryman Musa Barrow in a 3–2 victory at Roma. This would be followed by appearances off the bench against Genoa and Udinese, before the competition was halted on March 9 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [7]

After the competition resumed he would be given a lot more first-team opportunities as a result of the heavy playing schedule and new 5-substitute rule, impressing in the first game back in a 2–0 loss at Juventus on June 22, where he replaced Riccardo Orsolini in the 82nd minute. [8]

His first Serie A goal came on July 5, in a convincing performance at San Siro, where he would score the equaliser and secure the sending-off of Alessandro Bastoni in a 2–1 win over Inter Milan. [9]

Loan to Boavista

On 6 October 2020, he joined Portuguese club Boavista on loan with an option to purchase. [10]

Loan to Crotone

On 13 July 2021, he moved on loan to Crotone. [11] On 31 January 2022, the loan was terminated early. [12]

Loan to OB

On 19 January 2023, Juwara joined OB in Denmark on loan until 31 December 2023, with an option to buy. [13] After a 6-month stay, Juwara had yet to make his debut. For this reason, on June 8, 2023, the club decided to terminate the rental agreement 6 months early. [14]

Vejle

On 3 July 2023, Juwara joined newly promoted Danis Superliga club Vejle Boldklub on a deal until June 2026. [15]

International career

Juwara debuted with Gambia in a friendly 1–0 win over Congo on 9 October 2020. [16]
