Pape was born in Dakar, Senegal but moved to Iceland when he was eleven years old. In his youth, he played basketball with Valur. When his family moved to Árbær, he started playing football with Fylkir.[1]
Club career edit
Pape played his first senior team game with Fylkir in the Úrvalsdeild karla in 2007. In September 2010, Fylkir terminated its contract with Pape due to disciplinary reasons.[2] He spent the 2011 season with Leiknir in the second-tier 1. deild karla before signing with top-tier club Grindavík for the 2012 season.[3] After Grindavík was relegated, he signed with Víkingur Reykjavík in 2013[4] and played there for two and a half season. In July 2015, he was sold to BÍ/Bolungarvík.[5][6][7]
In 2016, Pape signed with Víkingur Ólafsvík[8] where he played for two and a half season. After initially planning on joining Kórdrengir in 2018, he eventually returned to Víkingur Ólafsvík and appeared in 5 matches in the Úrvalsdeild, scoring one goal.[9] In end of June he transferred to TB/FCS/Royn, where he appeared in 11 matches in the Faroe Islands Premier League and scored 5 goals.[10] In May 2019, Pape joined Þróttur Vogum.[11]
After sitting out the 2020 season due to injuries,[12] Pape signed with Tindastóll in May 2021.[13] In 21 matches, he netted 13 goals, tied for third best in the 3. deild. Despite his scoring prowess, Tindastóll was relegated after a loss in their final game of the season.[14]
In April 2022, Faye joined Árbær.[15]
