Roland Conde Lamah (born 31 December 1987) is a Belgian footballer who plays for Hungarian club Ferencvárosi TC mainly as a left winger.

Club career

Early years / Osasuna

Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Lamah started playing in Belgium, representing C.S. Visé in the second division and R.S.C. Anderlecht in the Pro League.[2][3] In the 2007–08 season, he represented Roda JC Kerkrade on loan from the latter.[4]

In the summer of 2008, Lamah moved clubs and countries again, joining France's Le Mans UC 72 on a four-year contract[5] and making his Ligue 1 debut on 30 August by playing one minute in a 4–1 away win against FC Nantes.[6] After suffering relegation in 2010, he competed in Ligue 2 with the team.[7]

On 24 August 2011, after a successful medical, Lamah penned a three-year deal with Spanish side CA Osasuna.[8] he scored four goals all competitions comprised during his one-and-a-half-year spell in Navarre,[9][10][11][12] also being sent off during a 1–5 home loss to Real Madrid in late March 2012.[13]

Swansea City

On 15 January 2013, Swansea City signed Lamah on an initial 18-month loan after which the Welsh could make it a permanent move.[14] He made his debut four days later, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Pablo Hernández in a 3–1 win over Stoke City at the Liberty Stadium.[15] Also from the bench, he featured 12 minutes to help his team win the League Cup after a 5–0 success against Bradford City.[16]

Lamah scored his first Swansea goal on 29 August 2013 in a UEFA Europa League play-off second leg against FC Petrolul Ploiești, finishing from a cross by Alejandro Pozuelo in an eventual 1–2 away loss but 6–3 aggregate win.[17] He netted for the first time in the league on 28 December, in a 1–1 draw at Aston Villa.[18] His second goal came against West Bromwich Albion on 15 March 2014, opening the scoring in the second minute of a 1–2 home defeat after being set up by Wilfried Bony.[19]

Ferencváros

On 9 September 2014, having been released by Osasuna, Lamah signed for Hungarian club Ferencvárosi TC, the move being permitted outside the transfer window as he was a free agent.[20] On 2 April 2016, in spite of a 1–2 away loss against Debreceni VSC, he and his team won the national championship after a 12-year wait.[21]

International career

Lamah chose to represent Belgium internationally,[22] gaining 20 caps at youth level. He made his debut for the full side on 9 September 2009, coming on as a late substitute for Wesley Sonck in a 1–2 loss in Armenia for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[23]
