Club career
Sainey Nyassi began his career in the Gambia, playing in the GFA League First Division for Gambia Ports Authority.

He made his MLS debut on September 9, 2007 against D.C. United as a substitute, playing the final eight minutes on the right wing. He made his first start and scored his first MLS goal on March 29, 2008 in the Revs' 3-0 opening day victory over Houston Dynamo. Nyassi was released by New England on May 16, 2013.[2]

On June 9, 2014, Nyassi signed for Finnish Club RoPS.[4]
Nyassi signed with FC Edmonton in February 2015.[5] He spent three seasons in Edmonton. After the 2017 season, with the future of FC Edmonton and the NASL in doubt, Nyassi was released by the club.[6][7]

He played for the Gambian U-17 national team in the 2005 U-17 world championships, and for the U-20 national team in the 2007 U-20 FIFA Championships.
