Career
Paide Linnameeskond
Born in Sukuta, The Gambia,[1] Jatta began playing for Real de Banjul in his home country before moving to Estonian Meistriliiga club Paide Linnameeskond in November 2018.[3] In the first half of the season, Jatta scored 13 goals in 17 league games and was top goalscorer of the Meistriliiga.[2]
Viborg
On 5 August 2019, Jatta signed a four-year contract with Danish 1st Division club Viborg FF.[4] He made his debut for the club on 21 August, coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute for Emil Scheel and scoring his first goal in injury time.[5]
Being part of the Viborg-team winning promotion to the Danish Superliga in the 2020–21 season,[6] Jatta made his debut at the highest level on 18 July 2021, coming on as a substitute for Sofus Berger in a 2–1 away win over Nordsjælland.[7]
In August 2022, Jatta and Viborg teammate Ibrahim Said were unable to travel to England for the club's UEFA Europa Conference League play-off against West Ham United due to English entry rules for non-EU citizens after Brexit.[8]
Notts County
On 1 February 2024, Jatta joined English EFL League Two club Notts County for a fee around 150,000 euros.[9][10] He signed a deal until June 2026.
