Early life
Faal was born in The Gambia but relocated to Birmingham, England with his family when he was seven years old.[2]
Club career
Faal joined the West Bromwich Albion academy in November 2019,[3] at the age of 16, after impressing during a two-week trial.[2] He had been scouted while playing local football for Sutton Coldfield Town in Birmingham.[2][1] He made an early impression and became the first scholar in West Brom history to play for the U-23’s, featuring in a number of matches for Deon Burton’s side during the 2020–21 campaign. He was also a regular fixture in Albion’s U-18 side and enjoyed a prolific season, scoring seven goals.[1]
He made his professional debut on 25 August 2021, coming on as a substitute for Kenneth Zohore, in a 0–6 loss to Arsenal in the second round of the EFL Cup.[4]
On 5 March 2022, he signed for National League North side Hereford on a one-month loan deal, with The Bulls just outside the play-offs in 8th position.[5]
