Conteh played in the youth team of FC St. Pauli from 2017 and made his minutes for the main squad of the Hamburgers last summer at the age of 19. 

In his debut game against Arminia Bielefeld, the later champion of the second Bundesliga, he scored right away.

"We have been watching Conteh for a while," Frank Arnesen, Technical Director of the club told the official website.

"He is lightning fast, has good action, and is someone who can provide a good dose of danger behind the lines. This boy has a lot of potential, so we want to give him the time, space, and attention to further develop it."

He has returned to his hometown of Hamburg and there he will wait for the preparation for the new season.
