Souleyman joined non-league Stourbridge on a 28-day work experience loan in September 2024, which was extended further following his goalscoring ability. 

During his time at the Stourbridge War Memorial Athletic Ground, Mandey netted five goals and contributed two assists. 

Souley signed for Albion from Rangers early into the 2023/24 campaign and quickly became part of the U21s group. 

He became a permanent part of that side after turning people in 2024, with the 24/25 season seeing him gain his first senior football at Stourbridge as well as making over 15 appearances in the PL2 side, helping reach the PL Cup quarter-finals over the course of the campaign.

A tall, powerful central midfielder who can play as a false nine and a defender when required, Souleyman grew up in Austria - beginning his footballing education in KSV Siemens' youth ranks before several spells around Austria took him to the UK where, after a couple of years at the Pulse Academy, he signed professional terms with Scottish giants Rangers in June 2022.

Receiving his first international cap for Austria's U17s during the early stages of 2023, Mandey will hope to reap the benefits of being around Albion's PDP programme during his spell at the club as he builds towards a first-team future.
