Club career

[edit]

After playing in Queens Park Rangers' academy, Kakay signed his first professional contract with the club in 2015.[5] On 29 January 2016, he signed a new one-year deal to keep him at QPR until 2017, and joined Livingston on loan until the end of the season.[6] Kakay made his professional debut on 30 January 2016, playing the full game in Livingston's 1–0 away loss to Dumbarton in the Scottish Championship.[7]

He made his first QPR appearance in August 2016, starting out of position in the right of midfield in an EFL Cup second round victory over Rochdale, before being substituted after 73 minutes to an ovation from the Queens Park Rangers support.[8]

On 31 January 2017, Kakay signed a loan deal at Chesterfield until the end of the 2016–17 season.[9]

In November 2018, QPR offered Kakay a contract extension, extending his deal at Loftus Road to 2021.[10]

On 2 September 2019, Kakay signed for Partick Thistle on loan until January 2020.[11] Kakay originally played as a right back for Thistle, but played as a right winger for the majority of his stay at the Glasgow club.[12]

On 5 September 2020, Kakay scored his first professional goal in an EFL Cup tie against Plymouth Argyle.[13] He agreed a new contract until 2024 in September 2020.[14]

On 1 May 2021, Kakay scored his first Championship goal in a 2–0 win away to Stoke City.[15]

On 6 May 2024, QPR announced the player would be leaving the club in the summer when his contract expired.[16]

International career

[edit]

On 9 September 2018 Kakay made his international debut for Sierra Leone against Ethiopia in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.[17]

In December 2021, Kakay was named in the Sierra Leone squad for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as the nation prepared for their first appearance at the competition since 1996.[18] Kakay played the full ninety minutes of his side's opening match as they held one of the pre-tournament favourites and holders Algeria to a goalless draw.[19][20]
