Delving into the career of Mohamad Sylla, born in France on 1st December 1993, finds us discussing the methods and manoeuvres of a predominantly central defensive midfielder. Now aged 32, Sylla currently plays for Livingston in Scotland, sporting the number 24 jersey on the pitch. Towering at approximately 6ft 2in (1.89m) tall and weighing in at around 12st 10lb (81kg), his presence is not one to be jaunted on the field.
Currently, Sylla's market value hovers around the €100k mark- approximately £85k in British currency. This is a valuation courtesy of an estimation by Transfermarkt.
Before making waves in the Scottish Premiership with Livingston, Sylla commenced his professional journey with Entente SSG, a team playing in the lower French leagues. He joined their ranks back in July 2013.
January 2019 signalled a move to Oldham Athletic in England's League Two. He relocated following an undisclosed transfer from Entente SSG. Continuing his journey through the English leagues, July 2020 saw Sylla transfer to Laval in French Ligue 2 from Oldham.
October 2021 witnessed yet another transfer for Sylla, this time to Aldershot Town in the English National League from Laval. He didn't stay at Aldershot Town long; moving to Hartlepool United, also in the National League, in August 2022.
His debut 2022-2023 season at Hartlepool proved productive, with Sylla making 28 first-team appearances and netting a single goal in league matches. This successful term sparked another move, in August 2023, to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, again for an undisclosed transfer sum.
Over two consistent seasons (2023-2025) with Dundee, Sylla marked 57 first-team match appearances on his professional card. July 2025 brought another shift in Sylla's Scotish journey, moving from Dundee to his current club, Livingston.
Already in the current 2025-2026 season, Sylla has made an impressive 23 first-team appearances and bagged another league goal for Livingston. Furthermore, he made a decisive impact in the 2025-2026 League Cup for Livingston, marking four starts and making a single appearance as a substitute for the team.
