The highly-rated defender completed his transfer on Tuesday, June 25, signing a three-year contract with the club.
“Sogndal Fotball and Raufoss Fotball have agreed on a transfer for defender Jamal Deen Haruna, born 23 October 1999! The agreement extends to the 2027 season, but he will play the rest of the 2024 season on loan in Raufoss.

In his first interview, Haruna shared his delight about the move, stating, “Sogndal seems like a good town. It is a club that all good players want to play for, and the facilities are absolutely fantastic. I know Isaac Twum from before and we are good friends. It will be nice to play in the same colors as him.”
