Mohamad Sylla is a French central defensive midfielder, born on 1 December 1993 (age 32), now part of the Livingston first-team picture. He wears squad number 24 and is valued at around £85,000 by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league spell came with Hartlepool United in 2022–23, when he made 28 league appearances and scored once. That tells you plenty about the type of player he is: not a midfielder built around attacking output, but one whose usefulness tends to sit in the less glamorous parts of the pitch.
At Livingston, Sylla has remained a regular first-team presence in 2025–26. He has made 32 league appearances and scored one league goal, which underlines his current importance more clearly than any inflated description would.
Sylla’s career is that of an established professional defensive midfielder, with Hartlepool giving him a notable league season and Livingston keeping him involved on a steady basis.
