Umaru Wobay

Umaru Wobay (born 26th November 1992, Tongo, Sierra Leone) is a Sierra Leonean footballer who currently plays for Hendrikstad FC in Brunant, as a midfielder.

Wobay began his footballer career in early 2011 as a youth player at Gem Stars F.C., and became a member of the main squad later that year. After a string of impressive performances in 2012, Wobay became well-known in Sierra Leone for his creativity and leadership on the field, and his skill at free kicks and corners. After a deal with Diamond Stars F.C. fell through, Wobay was bought in 2013 by Brunanter club Hendrikstad FC. At Hendrikstad FC, Wobay has continued to develop and impress, and is an increasingly proficient goalscorer and chance-creator, especially when working in tandem with other midfielders such as Victor Wiseman and Salomon Sesay.

Since 2013, Wobay has played for the Sierra Leone national football team (he made several appearances for the U-20 side in the previous year). He scored his first international goal in a June 2013 friendly against Gambia.
