Abdou Razack Traoré (born 28 December 1988) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or an attacking midfielder. Born in Ivory Coast, he represented Burkina Faso at international level.

Club career

Rosenborg

Traoré was born in Abidjan, the Ivory Coast. He played for Raja Casablanca before he ended his contract and joined Rosenborg on a free transfer a few months later. At Rosenborg, he plays alongside his compatriot and Ivory Coast international Didier Ya Konan, who joined the club in December 2006 from homeland club ASEC Abidjan. In August 2007, it was reported by Norwegian newspapers that Traoré was beat up and robbed while being on vacation in Ivory Coast.[1]

In the November 2007 issue of World Soccer he was featured on their list of the 50 most exciting teenagers in world football.[2]

Violent episode

On 24 October 2008, it became known that Traoré knocked down fellow Rosenborg player Øyvind Storflor during a practice session.[3][4] The following day Rosenborg announced that Traoré would be banned from playing the last two matches of the season.[5] Traoré's contract would run out at the end of 2010 and his last year in Rosenborg was difficult with little amount of playing time. Rosenborg's Chief of Football Erik Hoftun stated "We thank Abdou for his spell at the club. Unfortunately, he didn't develop as much as we expected, but we wish him good luck in the future" after his departure from the Norwegian champions.[6]

Lechia Gdańsk

On 20 August 2010, Traoré joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Lechia Gdańsk on loan. On 28 August, he made his debut in a league match against Śląsk Wrocław. On 21 September, he scored his first goal in a cup match against Górnik Zabrze. Four days later, he scored his first and second goal in a league game against Górnik Zabrze.

Gaziantepspor

On 15 January 2013, Traoré joined Turkish Süper Lig club Gaziantepspor on a free transfer.[7]

Sivasspor

On 31 August 2019, he has signed 1+1 year contract with Sivasspor.[8]

Nanjing City
