Club career
Cham started his career with various youth sides back home in Belgium, namely VW Hamme, K.V. Mechelen and latterly Sint-Truiden.
He signed for Greenock Morton in July 2013 on a two-year contract,[1] and made his first competitive debut for Morton in a 1–0 defeat in the Scottish Challenge Cup to Annan Athletic.
Cham ingratiated himself with the Morton support after he scored a double against arch-rivals St Mirren in the Renfrewshire Cup final.[2] Cham was released from his contract in February 2014 by mutual consent.[3]
Personal life
Cham was born in Belgium to a Greek mother and a Gambian father[4] and has elected to represent Gambia at international level. To date, he has made one appearance for the Under-20 side in a 2011 African Youth Championship group match against Nigeria.[5]
His maternal grandfather is Greek but moved to Belgium, where the striker's mother, Panayoula Kontoyannis, was born meaning that Cham is also eligible to represent Greece at international level.[6]
