Proceeding his release, Sesay opted to join League Two club Crawley Town on a two-year deal.[6] On 4 September 2018, Sesay made his Crawley debut during their EFL Trophy group-stage tie against Tottenham Hotspur U23s, featuring for just under 20 minutes and scoring the winning penalty in the shootout.[7] He made his league debut on 29 December 2018, starting in a 0–0 draw away to Newport County.[8] At the end of the season, he was awarded Crawley Town's Young Player of the Year award.[9] In June 2020, Sesay signed a one-year contract extension with the club.[10] He was released by Crawley Town at the end of the 2020–21 season.[11]

International career


Born in England, Sesay is of Kenyan and Sierra Leonean descent. He was called up to the Kenya national football team in March 2019,[14] although he turned down the call-up in order to help Crawley Town in their relegation battle.[15] In October 2021 he was called-up by the Sierra Leone national football team for friendly fixtures that month.[16] He debuted for Sierra Leone in a 1–1 friendly tie with South Sudan on 7 October 2021.[17]

Sesay was named in Sierra Leone's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations,[18] but did not make an appearance at the tournament.[19]
