Jatto Ceesay (born 16 November 1974 in Banjul) is a former Gambian football striker.
Ceesay has also played for Wallidan Sens (Gambia), Willem II Tilburg (Netherlands), Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia), AEK Larnaca (Cyprus), FC Omniworld (Netherlands) and AEP Paphos (Cyprus).
Career
Ceesay started to play football as a small boy with the Gambian team Wallidan Sens. As a young boy he left to go to the Netherlands. At 20-years of age Ceesay made his debut for Willem II. After 8 seasons in which he was a regular first-team player, he left in the summer of 2003, joining Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.
This adventure provided no sporting success and he returned in the winter of 2004 to Willem II. He continued to play competitive games for the Tilburgers in season 2003/2004, though mainly as a back-up. Partly due to the presence of Kevin Bobson, Martijn Reuser and Anouar Hadouir he made only 14 appearances, in which he scored 4 times. Ceesay also struggled to feature in the 2005/06 season. Eventually he left in the winter to join AEK Larnaca, where he was with Raymond Victoria and Donny de Groot, two former Willem players. In the summer of 2007 these two players left Cyprus. Ceesay followed and returned to the Netherlands, where he joined FC Omniworld.
