Scorpion’s winger Yusupha Njie has celebrated his 100 games for his Portuguese topflight team Boavista during their 2-2 home draw against Benfica during their week-23 fixtures of Portugal’s Primeira Liga on Friday.
The 27-year-old Gambian international expressed delight at playing a century of games for Boavista.
“What an amazing journey it has been to reach this milestone of 100 caps, always honored to be part of this amazing team. To more milestones Inshaa Allah,” he wrote on twitter
Yusupha Njie son of the late Gambian football legend Biri Biri signed for Portuguese side Boavista in July 2017 from Moroccan side FUS Rabat.
Njie joined first division Gambian side Real de Banjul in 2011 and spent the following two seasons with them, leading them to a league title in 2012.
Their win earned them a spot in the 2013 CAF Champions League, where he was instrumental in their 2-1 second-leg victory over Moroccan club FUS Rabat in the preliminary round.
Although they got eliminated on aggregate goals, his play attracted the attention of Rabat manager Jamal Sellami, who, four months later, signed Njie to a four-year contract after a successful trial with the club.
The Banjul-born player signed his first professional contract with Moroccan side FUS Rabat in 2013, before moving to Portugal topflight side Boavista in July 2017.
He currently scored three goals in 18 matches for Boavista this season.
