The 18-year-old talent is set to sign a noteworthy three-year deal with the Optibet Virsliga champions, marking his official entry into professional football.
Several sources including those from The Nerve Africa indicate that Njie, formerly with GFF second division club Gunjur United, will embark on a new chapter in his football journey with this pivotal move. The midfielder, who showcased his prowess with the Gambia U20 team during the Fifa U20 World Cup, has left his homeland to join his new club and is anticipated to make a significant impact in the Latvian football scene.

The young midfielder’s move comes on the heels of the Gambia U20 team’s impressive run to the round of 16 in the Fifa U20 World Cup. Njie, known for his ability to navigate tight spaces, adept link-up plays, and defensive prowess, has earned himself a notable market value of €100,000 according to Transfermarkt.
With this exciting transfer, Haruna Rashid Njie is set to make his mark on the Latvian football stage, representing not only himself but also contributing to the growing recognition of Gambian talent in the global football landscape.
