Mohamadou Sissoko (born 8 August 1988) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Ermis Aradippou. He also holds Malian citizenship.[2]

Club career[edit]

Sissoko was born in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Hauts-de-Seine.[1] He signed for Udinese in 2006. In 2007–08 and 2008–09 season he left for Celano and Gallipoli Calcio,[3] but returned to Udinese in mid-season twice. He played at Campionato Nazionale Primavera 2008–09 season as overage player.[4] He made his debut on the professional level in the 2008/09 season in Lega Pro Prima Divisione for Gallipoli Calcio. Sissoko spent the 2009–10 season on loan at Eupen.[2]

Sissoko spent the 2010–11 season on loan at Kilmarnock.[5] On 20 July 2010, he played his first match for Kilmarnock in a 7–1 win against Bideford, a pre-season friendly.[6] Udinese officially announced the loan deal on 12 August.[5][7] and the Scottish club on 18 August.[8] Shortly joining, Sissoko debut was delayed over international clearance.[9] On 22 August 2010, Sissoko made his debut, making his first start and playing 90 minutes, in a 1–0 loss against Motherwell. Sissoko scored his first goal for Kilmarnock in a 6–2 win over Airdrie United in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.[10] Since joining Kilmarnock, Sissoko says his desire is to stay in Scotland, due to Italian hooligans – as a citing reason to stay in Scotland.[11] On 20 November 2010, Sissoko received a red card – for the first time in his Scottish career – in a 3–2 loss against Rangers.

After being priced out of a permanent move for the player,[12] Kilmarnock were eventually allowed to re-sign Sissoko on another season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day in August 2011.[13] Sissoko scored his first goal in his second loan spell at Kilmarnock in a 2–0 win over East Fife in the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup. On 18 March, he played in the 2012 Scottish League Cup Final which Kilmarnock won after beating Celtic 1–0.[14]

Sissoko was released by Udinese after the 2011–12 season and signed for Kilmarnock in October 2012.[15]

On 12 September 2013 the Greek superleague side Veria signed Sissoko on a one-year contract. [16]

On 9 August 2016 Sissoko returned to the Greek superleague side Veria.[17]

On 9 August 2017 Sissoko signed to the Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Acre.[18]
