Club career

Early years / Osasuna

Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Lamah started playing in Belgium, representing C.S. Visé in the second division and R.S.C. Anderlecht in the Pro League. [2] [3] In the 2007–08 season, he represented Roda JC Kerkrade on loan from the latter. [4]

In the summer of 2008, Lamah moved clubs and countries again, joining France's Le Mans UC 72 on a four-year contract [5] and making his Ligue 1 debut on 30 August by playing one minute in a 4–1 away win against FC Nantes. [6] After suffering relegation in 2010, he competed in Ligue 2 with the team. [7]

On 24 August 2011, after a successful medical, Lamah penned a three-year deal with Spanish side CA Osasuna. [8] he scored four goals all competitions comprised during his one-and-a-half-year spell in Navarre, [9] [10] [11] [12] also being sent off during a 1–5 home loss to Real Madrid in late March 2012. [13]

Swansea City

On 15 January 2013, Swansea City signed Lamah on an initial 18-month loan after which the Welsh could make it a permanent move. [14] He made his debut four days later, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Pablo Hernández in a 3–1 win over Stoke City at the Liberty Stadium. [15] Also from the bench, he featured 12 minutes to help his team win the League Cup after a 5–0 success against Bradford City. [16]

Lamah scored his first Swansea goal on 29 August 2013 in a UEFA Europa League play-off second leg against FC Petrolul Ploiești, finishing from a cross by Alejandro Pozuelo in an eventual 1–2 away loss but 6–3 aggregate win. [17] He netted for the first time in the league on 28 December, in a 1–1 draw at Aston Villa. [18] His second goal came against West Bromwich Albion on 15 March 2014, opening the scoring in the second minute of a 1–2 home defeat after being set up by Wilfried Bony. [19]

Ferencváros

On 9 September 2014, having been released by Osasuna, Lamah signed for Hungarian club Ferencvárosi TC, the move being permitted outside the transfer window as he was a free agent. [20] On 2 April 2016, in spite of a 1–2 away loss against Debreceni VSC, he and his team won the national championship after a 12-year wait. [21]

FC Dallas

On 16 December 2016, Lamah signed with Major League Soccer side FC Dallas. [22] Lamah was released by Dallas the end of their 2018 season. [23]

FC Cincinnati

On 11 December 2018, Lamah was selected by FC Cincinnati in the 2018 MLS Expansion Draft, transferring his MLS rights from Dallas. [24] Cincinnati declined Lamah's option at the end of the 2019 season. [25]

Memphis 901

In March 2021, Lamah joined Memphis 901 FC of the USL Championship. [26]

International career
