Career edit

Mbabane Highlanders edit

Transferring to Swazi Premier League title contenders Mbabane Highlanders in 2008 and scoring a goal on his cup debut opposing Eleven Men, Cissé threatened to leave the club after not being paid for the six weeks since his arrival.[2]

Moroka Swallows edit

On trial with Moroka Swallows of the South African top division, the Malian striker officially penned a two-year deal with them in January 2011.[3] However, after getting cleared to play,[4] Cissé put in a torpid performance for the club despite being given 11 starts by coach Gordon Igesund in his first six months with the Swallows.[5] This was coupled with injury,[6] which caused him to be finally released by the South African outfit in 2013.[5]
