Occupying Nagaworld's foreign slot for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Lelouma was the first Guinean in the Cambodian League,[6] and was called "Barry" by the fans.[7] Over the course of his time there, he racked more than 10 goals each season[6] including a hat-trick when Naga crushed Western 5–0 in 2014[8] and four goals in an 8–0 rout of the same team in 2015[9] before his contract expired at the end of 2015.[10]
Told by a so-called "player agent" that he had come to terms with a Malaysian side, the agent actually arranged fake deals for ingenuous African footballers and was never caught for his turpitude.[1][5] Marooned in Malaysia, the frontman found someone who advised him to continue his career in Thailand where he successfully trialed for Bangkok Christian College through a friend,[1][5] finishing 3rd despite finding hard to adjust with the high expectations for foreigners.[5] For the U19 Championship, he was recruited by the Thai League 1's BEC Tero where he reached the U19 final,[11] getting the better of opponents BBCU[12] and finished top scorer.[1] Penciling in a move to Look Isan in 2016[13] through Guinean Ousmane Cherif[1] the Guinean scored when they overcame Pattaya 1-0 to qualify for the 2016 Thai League Cup[14] but separated with them mid-season.[15]
Decided on a one-year contract with Southern Myanmar for the 2018 Myanmar National League.[16]
The goalscorer's father died in 2016.[1]
