On 29 April 2018, Sow made his debut in the Eredivisie for FC Utrecht in a match against Heracles Almelo, which ended in a 2–2 draw. He came on as a substitute in the 81st minute for Urby Emanuelson, but was unable to score.

On 2 January 2019, it was announced that Sow had signed with RKC Waalwijk. [4] He left the club as his contract expired in June 2021. [5]

On 10 August 2021, he moved to England and joined EFL League One club Sheffield Wednesday. [6] He made his debut in an EFL Trophy match against Newcastle United U21, where he opened the scoring in a 3–0 win. [7]

On 27 August 2022, it was reported that Sow returned to the Netherlands, joining Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap for an undisclosed fee. [8] However, the transfer fell through, and on 29 August 2022 Sow signed a two-year contract with Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie instead. [9]

On 1 February 2024, Sow returned to NEC until the end of the season, with the club holding an option to extend. [10]
