About the player
Musa Njie signed a five-year contract with Östers IF in December 2025, becoming only the second Gambian player to join the club after Youssoupha Sanyang. The move followed a trial spell in the summer of 2024 that left an impression: playing in a League Cup match against Landskrona BoIS, he scored. That goal was enough to put him on the club's radar well before the paperwork was signed.
Before his move to Sweden, Njie played for BST Galaxy FC in his native Gambia, where the 2024/2025 season belonged to him. He was named the club's Player of the Season and finished as its top scorer, numbers that made the switch abroad look less like a gamble and more like a natural next step. The financial terms of the transfer were not disclosed.
Njie wasted no time settling in at his new club. He scored on his debut for Östers IF, in a friendly against Karlskrona, giving supporters an early look at the pace that has become his calling card. He is described as a quick, explosive forward.
Born in Kartong, Njie has yet to add international recognition to his club exploits — there is no record of caps for The Gambia at senior or youth level so far. For now, his story is being written entirely at club level, from a domestic breakout season in Gambia to a long-term commitment in Sweden built on a single trial-match goal that changed his path.
