Hamburg sign 18-year-old Gambian refugee Bakery Jatta

Hamburg have signed Gambian refugee Bakery Jatta on a three-year contract.

Jatta turned 18 a week ago, which allowed him to sign a professional deal. He already had been training with the first team.

Jatta fled his homeland in 2015 and arrived in northern Germany via Italy. He joined a football academy in Bremen and convinced Hamburg's staff to trial him.

He can play in several attacking positions. Jatta says he had never played in a club before.
