Born in Serekunda,[3] Sanneh began his career with Real de Banjul.[1]

On 1 September 2014 AC Horsens confirmed, that they had signed Sanneh on a season long loan-deal with a buying option.[4] He made his debut on 10 November 2014 against Viborg FF, where he played the whole match and scored a goal.[3] AC Horsens utilized the buying option, and announced the transfer on 22 April 2015.[5]

On 5 November 2017 Sanneh officially signed with Midtjylland on a four-year deal, with the transfer happening during the winter transfer window.[6]

On 21 February 2022, Sanneh returned to Denmark and signed a deal with Danish Superliga club SønderjyskE until the end of the season.[15] After a season, which ended with relegation, Sanneh left the club as his contract expired.[16]
