Club career

On 23 September 2020, Colley joined Serie A side Hellas Verona on loan for the remainder of the season.[4]

On 1 September 2023, Colley joined Swiss Super League club Young Boys on loan for the remainder of the season, with the deal including an option-to-buy.[7][8] Later that year, on 13 December, he became the first Gambian to score in the UEFA Champions League, by netting a goal in a 2–1 away defeat against RB Leipzig.[9]

On 15 July 2026, Colley agreed to return to Turkey and joined Konyaspor on a season-long loan, with an option to buy.[10]
