Career

edit

Born in Conakry, Cellou moved to Spain at the age of 14,[1] and joined CF Lorca Deportiva's youth sides from CE Puig-reig. On 31 January 2020, he was promoted to the first team,[2] and featured in one match before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 30 August 2021, after being regularly used as Lorca suffered relegation from Segunda División B, Cellou was loaned to Segunda División RFEF side Águilas FC for one year, with a buyout clause.[3] On 1 July 2022, after also dropping down a level, he returned to Lorca in Tercera Federación.[4]

On 16 July 2023, Cellou moved to FC Cartagena and was assigned to the reserves in the fourth division.[5] He made his first team – and professional – debut the following 14 January, coming on as a late substitute for Tomás Alarcón in a 4–1 Segunda División home routing of Villarreal CF B.[6][7]

On 20 June 2024, Cellou signed for Primera Federación side CD Alcoyano.[1]
