Kwame Quee (born 7 September 1996) is a Sierra Leonean professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for 1. deild karla club Grindavík and the Sierra Leone national team.

Club career

[edit]

In June 2016, Quee underwent a three-week trial with Danish side Randers FC, along with three other teammates from Johansen.[1]

In May 2017, Quee was loaned out to Icelandic club Víkingur Ólafsvík on a two-year deal.[2][3] He made his debut on 15 May against Grindavík, although he was sent off in the 82nd minute after seeing his second yellow card of the match.[4] His first goal with Víkingur came in his third game, where he flicked in a header from close range against Breiðablik.[5] He scored his second goal the following month, during a 2–1 win against Stjarnan.[6]

In January 2019 Quee signed for Icelandic top flight club Breiðablik. After just two appearances with the club, he was loaned out to Víkingur Reykjavík in June.[7][8] He won the 2019 Icelandic Cup with Víkingur. On 2 March 2022, Quee signed for Saudi club Najran.

On 1 June 2022, he signed for Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Haifa.[9]

International career

[edit]

A former youth international, Quee represented his country at the 2015 African U-20 Championship qualifiers as well as the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifiers.[10][11]

Quee received his first senior call-up to the national team in July 2014 in preparation for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.[12] On 19 July, he earned his first cap, replacing Mohamed Kamanor during a 2–0 win against Seychelles, which secured them a spot in the group stage.[13]
