Noah Kemeseng Sonko Sundberg (born 6 June 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Süper Lig club Sivasspor on loan from Ludogorets Razgrad. A former youth international for Sweden, he plays for the Gambia national team.

Club career

Born to a Gambian mother and a Swedish father, Sonko Sundberg joined AIK as a youth player in early 2010. In the summer of 2013 he was moved up to the first team where he made his first team debut in a friendly against Manchester United. On 2 June 2014 he made his Allsvenskan debut at home against IF Brommapojkarna.

He was loaned out to fellow Allsvenskan club GIF Sundsvall in both 2016 and 2017, being an important member of their squad beside fellow central defender Marcus Danielsson.

On 9 January 2018, Sonko Sundberg transferred to Östersunds FK on a permanent deal from AIK, signing a four-year deal with his new club.

On 4 November 2021, Sonko Sundberg signed a 2+1⁄2-year deal with Bulgarian club Levski Sofia, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, once his contract with Östersunds had ended.

On 26 July 2023, he was transferred to fellow Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad for an undisclosed fee.

International career

In September 2013, Sonko Sundberg was selected to the Sweden men's national under-17 football team that would compete in the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. On 2 October 2020, he was called up by the senior Gambia national team. He debuted with Gambia in a friendly 1–0 win over Congo on 9 October 2020. In January 2024, Sonko Sundberg was included in the country's squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
