Kewullay Conteh (born 31 December 1977 in Freetown, Sierra Leone) is a Sierra Leonean footballer who currently plays for Italian Serie A side Atalanta B.C.. He is tall 185 cm, weighs 78 kg, and currently plays for Albinoleffe.
Conteh first moved to Italy in November 1995, joining Serie A team Atalanta from Swedish side FC Café Opera (now FC Väsby United). He played two times for Atalanta, all in his first season with the nerazzurri, making his debut in a 1-0 loss against Fiorentina on April 20, 1996. After a short stint back to FC Café Opera, Conteh then joined Serie B side Chievo Verona on January 1998. He played three seasons for the flying donkeys, before signing for Venezia in 2000. After two seasons for Venezia, one in Serie B and one in Serie A, Conteh, together with many other team players, left Venezia for Palermo in 2002 after chairman Maurizio Zamparini bought the Sicilian team. He plays for Palermo since then, in more recent times as a backbench player.
Kewullay Conteh made his debut in the 2005-2006 season on January, after having been ignored by coach Luigi Del Neri during all his time in Palermo, and however being reconsidered by substitute Giuseppe Papadopulo, who made him play first in a UEFA Cup match played away against SK Slavia Praha, in which Conteh scored a goal. After a number of impressive showings, Conteh renewed his contract for Palermo, which was due in June 2006, for two more years. On August 2006 he was loaned to Atalanta B.C., but failed to break into the starting lineup in the 2006-07 season. On August 2007, he rescinded his contract with Palermo and joined Serie B side AlbinoLeffe in a free transfer.[1]
He is also a regular for the Sierra Leone national football team.
