Hadamou Traoré (born 7 September 1993) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Union SG.

Club career

Traoré began playing football in his hometown of Paris, eventually joining the Nantes academy in 2008,[1] where he played up to the under-19 level. After failing to get a pro contract from the team, he made the switch to Paris FC in 2011, where he played one more year in the under-19 league.

After a two-year break from football, he joined Le Pontet in the fourth-tier Championnat de France Amateur for the 2014–15 season. Midway through the year, he made the move to Monts d'Or Azergues. He signed with Drancy of the newly-named Championnat National 2 in the summer of 2017.[2]

In June 2018, Traoré was signed by Belgian First Division B side Union SG on a two-year deal.[3] He made his professional debut a few months later, coming on for Charles Morren during an away win against OH Leuven on 16 November.[4]

Personal life

Born in France, Traoré is of Mauritanian descent.[4] His older brother, Bouna, died from electrocution in 2005 at a building site in the Clichy-sous-Bois suburbs of Paris while hiding from police, an event that unleashed weeks of violent protests across the country addressing the issue of police harassment in poorer immigrant communities.[1]
