Club career
[edit]Born in Kololi, Marong started playing in Gambia at the Superstars Academy. They sent him on loan to Israeli club Beitar Nes Tubruk where he made 24 appearances and scored 9 goals in the 2017–18 Israeli youth league.[1]
In the winter-break of the 2018–19 season, he signed with Serbian club Trayal Kruševac[2] along his compatriot Lamin Jobe.[3] Marong adapted immediately in Serbia, contributing with 6 goals in 14 appearances in the second-half of the season. His performances called the attention of bigger clubs, and by June there were rumors he was going to sign with current Serbian champions, Red Star Belgrade.[4]
International career
