Kabba-Modou Cham (born 25 December 1992) is a former professional football player who last played for Royal Cappellen. Born in Belgium, he is a youth international for the Gambia.

He has also played competitively for KVV Coxyde and KSV Bornem, as well as abroad for Scottish club Greenock Morton and MostainMalta.

Club career[edit]

Cham started his career with various professional youth academies back home in Belgium, namely K Beerschot VA,VW Hamme,K.V. Mechelen and S.K. Beveren. He started his senior career for Sint-Truiden but left after one year to go and sign for Greenock Morton in July 2013 on a two-year contract,[1] and made his first competitive debut for Morton in a 1–0 defeat in the Scottish Challenge CuptoAnnan Athletic.

Cham ingratiated himself with the Morton support after he scored a double against arch-rivals St Mirren in the Renfrewshire Cup final.[2][3]

Personal life[edit]

Cham was born in Belgium to a Greek mother and a Gambian father[4] and has elected to represent Gambia at international level. To date, he has made one appearance for the Under-20 side in a 2011 African Youth Championship group match against Nigeria.[5]

His maternal grandfather is Greek but moved to Belgium, where the striker's mother, Panayoula Kontoyannis, was born meaning that Cham is also eligible to represent Greece at international level.[6]
