The Gambia Minteh started his senior career at
Steve Biko during the 2021–22
GFA League First Division season, after playing youth football for local club Bakoteh United. He finished third with Steve Biko in his only season at the club.
OB Following time playing domestically in The Gambia, Minteh's agent Bakary Bojang asked Danish club
OB to have a look at Minteh and a fellow Gambian, Dawda Darboe. They were both called in for a trial in the summer of 2021, playing for OB in their preparation ahead of the 2021–22 season. Minteh didn't leave a good impression, but he got a second chance at a try-out, and that was a way better impression. In the summer of 2022, he signed a two-year contract with OB. First for the U19-team, and later the same year a first-team contract. He made his
Danish Superliga debut on 10 September 2022 in a 2–1 win against
Copenhagen and scored the winning goal just three minutes after coming on as a substitute for
Franco Tongya.
Newcastle United On 12 June 2023,
Premier League club
Newcastle United announced that they had reached a deal to sign Minteh on a permanent deal from 1 July. Simultaneously, Newcastle also announced that upon his arrival, Minteh would be immediately loaned out to
Eredivisie champions
Feyenoord for the
2023–24 season. He scored his first goal for the club on 3 September, scoring the fifth goal in a 5–1 away win against
FC Utrecht. In late October 2023, he picked up a muscle injury, missing several weeks as a result. On 13 December, he scored his first
UEFA Champions League goal in a 2–1 away defeat against
Celtic in the final group stage match of the
2023–24 season, in which he became the second Gambian to achieve this feat following
Ebrima Colley. On 7 April 2024, he scored a brace and provided an assist for his club in a 6–0 victory over
Ajax in
De Klassieker, to be their opponent's worst defeat in the Eredivisie history.
Brighton and Hove Albion On 1 July 2024, Minteh joined Premier League side
Brighton & Hove Albion for a reported fee of £30 million, signing a five-year contract with the club. Minteh made his debut for the club on 17 August 2024 in a fixture in which he provided an assist for Kaoru Mitoma in a 3–0 win over
Everton. Minteh scored his first Premier League goal on 6 October 2024 in a 3–2 win over
Tottenham. He continued to impress for Brighton as their season went on, proceeding to score a brace in a 3–0 victory over
Chelsea. == International career ==
