Playing career edit

Sarr progressed through the youth teams of Lyngby before joining Ligue 1 club Bordeaux in 2003.[3] He returned to Lyngby after two years, where he made his professional debut in a 6–2 win in the Danish Cup over Taastrup FC on 9 August 2005.[4][5]

On 28 November 2005, Sarr signed a four-year contract with Danish Superliga club AGF.[6] He made his debut in the top tier on 11 March 2006, starting in a 1–1 home draw against SønderjyskE.[7]

Sarr terminated his contract with AGF by mutual consent on 8 January 2009, after losing his spot in the first team.[8] He returned to his former club Lyngby the same day, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with the club.[4]

He signed a short-term contract with the Stockholm-based club Hammarby IF, on 22 August 2011, after his release from Lyngby.[9] He made his debut for the club on 4 September, coming off the bench for David Lidholm in the 63rd minute in a 3–2 away loss in Superettan to Degerfors IF.[10]

After less than a season with Hammarby, Sarr returned to Denmark where he played for Brønshøj in the spring of 2012.[11] In August 2012, Sarr joined FK Jerv, debuting in the Norwegian Second Division on 1 September in a 1–1 home draw against FK Vidar.[12] He played for Jerv for the remainder of 2012, where he left the club as a free agent.[11] After nine months without a club, and trials in Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands, Sarr returned to Brønshøj on 26 September 2013.[11]

In February 2014, Sarr joined Landskrona BoIS on a six-month deal.[13] He played two years for the club, before moving to Höganäs BK in December 2015 in Division 2, the fourth tier of Swedish football.[14][15]
