Mohamad Sylla

Mohamad Sylla of Livingston was born on 1 December 1993 (age 32).

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.

Sylla's recent career has been itinerant, with spells at Laval, Aldershot Town, Hartlepool United, Dundee and Livingston since 2020. The pattern suggests a player who has had to rebuild across clubs and leagues rather than follow a straight upward trajectory, with his clearest recent first-team involvement coming at Livingston.

The transfer record is low-cost and pragmatic: four of Sylla's last five moves were free transfers, with only the Hartlepool United to Dundee switch listed as undisclosed. Livingston picked him up from Dundee for nothing, which frames the move as a value signing for experience and midfield cover rather than a fee-backed investment.
