Lamin Suma (born 14 July 1991) is a Sierra Leonean football midfielder playing for Sacramento Republic FC in the United Soccer League.
Born in Freetown, he was playing with Mighty Blackpool F.C. until summer 2011 when he moved to another Sierra Leone National Premier League side FC Kallon.
In November 2011 he went to Turkey where he joined Süper Lig side Eskişehirspor on trials. He developed a good relation with club's coach Michael Skibbe and the prospects of Suma getting a contract looked good, however the sudden departure of Skibbe from Eskişehirspor left Suma with his future uncertain and Serbian side FK Jagodina moved in and offered him a contract.
Lamin Suma made his Serbian SuperLiga debut on March 31, 2012, as a substitute in a 21-round match visiting FK Vojvodina, a 0-0 draw. He made a total of 3 appearances in the 2011–12 Serbian SuperLiga. In August 2012 he agreed to a loan to Montenegrin First League side FK Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje where he played the 2012–13 season.
In summer 2013 he moved to Estonia and joined Meistriliiga side FC Flora Tallinn. In 2014 he moved to Finnish third tier side Atlantis FC.
After playing in Europe, Suma moved across the Atlantic to the United States and, in March 2016, he signed a short term deal until summer with Philadelphia Fury. Philadelphia Fury ended the season as champions, and Suma won the best player award of the 2016 Spring season of the American Soccer League. As result, Suma signed with Sacramento Republic FC on December 5, 2016, a club playing a level higher, in the United Soccer League.
