| Sainey Touray |
Sainey Touray returns to the City Islanders after a
successful 2012 USL Pro campaign, appearing in 19 games in what was his second
season with the Pennsylvania-based club. He registered 2 goals and 4 assists
and is looking to continue to be a force in the Islanders’ frontline.
In 2011, his first full season in Harrisburg City Islanders,
the 23-year-old finished second on the team with 20 points and third with seven
goals, many of which helped him capture people’s attention with his elaborate
celebrations.
He finished top on the team with six assists, while logging
1,161 minutes. He also made a brief appearance with the team in 2010 on loan from
North American Soccer League [second-tier] club Carolina RailHawks.
“Sainey [Touray] dealt with many injuries last season [2012]
and his [goal scoring] numbers went down, but he is healthy again and ready to
get back to his 2011 form,” said Harrisburg City Islanders head coach Bill
Becher.
“He has looked sharp so far this pre-season and I expect him
to score goals for us,” Becher added.
The 6ft 1in striker began his professional career at the age
of 13, signing with Tallinding United in the Gambian second division. In 2005
he moved to first division club Wallidan where he became one of the club’s key
players, leading the club to the 2008 league title.
He made appearances for both Gambia’s U-17 and U-20 national
teams and also gained valuable experience in 2008 during a brief stint with Major
League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.
