Club Brugge

On 17 September 2020, following a successful trial, Fofana signed a three-year contract with Club Brugge in the Belgian First Division A.[3] In 2020–21, Fofana made nine appearances for the club's reserve team Club NXT, competing in the second tier First Division B.[4][5] He was regularly called up to train and play friendlies with the first-team squad, but failed to make any competitive appearances for Club Brugge.[6][7] In late February 2021, Fofana sat on the bench in both legs against Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League's round of 16, but remained an unused substitute.[8][9]

Hammarby IF

On 22 July 2022, Fofana joined Hammarby TFF, the feeder team of Swedish Allsvenskan club Hammarby IF. He moved on a free transfer and signed a six month-deal, with an option for a further year.[10] In 2022, he made 16 league appearances for Hammarby TFF, scoring four goals, helping the side to finish 6th in the Ettan table.[11] On 30 January 2023, Fofana was promoted to Hammarby's senior squad, signing a four-year contract.[12][13]
