Career

Europe

When Muhamadu was young, he moved with his parents from Amsterdam to Hoorn, where he started playing football. He got his first professional contract with FC Twente. When René Vandereycken became head coach of Twente, Muhamadu was loaned to Cambuur.

He went to MVV in 2004. After his time in Maastricht he got transferred to the Jupiler League at Cercle Brugge. However, due to lack of convincing results, Muhamadu was never able to achieve a regular spot in the starting eleven. He went to FC Dordrecht, where he would later also find his Dutch former Cercle Brugge teammate Brian Pinas.

In May 2008, Muhamadu signed a contract with Willem II Tilburg and left the club after one year to sign with Dynamo Dresden on 9 June 2009.^[1] After just two months at Dynamo, and three league appearances, his contract was annulled in August 2009. He returned to Dordrecht a few days later.

North America

In August 2010, Muhamadu signed with the American second division club, Portland Timbers, who joined Major League Soccer in 2011.^[2]

Return to Europe

In December 2010, he signed with Dutch second division club Helmond Sport on an amateur contract.^[3] He will join amateur side SV Spakenburg from 1 July 2011.
