Kewullay Conteh (born 31 December 1977) is a Sierra Leonean former professional footballer who played as a defender. He spent most his career in Italy while representing the Sierra Leone national team at international level.
Career
Kewullay was born and raised in
Venezia in 2000. After two seasons for Venezia, one in Serie B and one in Serie A, Conteh, together with many other team players, left Venezia for Palermo in 2002 after chairman Maurizio Zamparini bought the Sicilian
team. He played for Palermo since then, initially as a regular, and later as a backbench player.
Conteh made his debut in the 2005–2006 season on January, after having been ignored by coach
AlbinoLeffe in a free transfer, signing a one-year-long contract with the seriani.[1] He left AlbinoLeffe in June 2008, as he initially failed to agree for a new contract, but re-joined the team on September as a free agent.[2]
He was also a regular for the Sierra Leone national team.
In December 2011, Conteh was confirmed to be under investigation from the Magistrature of Cremona for briberies related to the
Joelson.[3]
