Club career
[edit]After spending the first half of the 2023–24 on loan with Pohronie in Slovak Second League, Jatta signed with Slovak First League club Podbrezová in January 2024.[1] He was immediately there after loaned back to Pohronie.
On 22 August 2024, Jatta was loaned out to AC Oulu in Finnish top-tier Veikkausliiga.[2][3] He debuted in the league on 14 September, as a starter in a 3–0 home win against Lahti. On 5 October, in the early minutes of an away match against Ekenäs IF, Jatta suffered a head injury after colliding with opponent, and was taken to hospital for treatment.[4] Two days later, the club announced that nothing severe was found and Jatta was allowed to travel with the team back to Oulu. The club also credited performance coach Luke Robertson for not letting Jatta continue the game after the collision.[5] After the season, Jatta joined AC Oulu on a permanent basis, signing a two-year deal with a two-year option, for an undisclosed fee.[6]
