On 19 May 2017, he signed a two-year professional contract with the Wanderers, having previously been on a youth contract.[8] Majok was part of the 2017-18 Y-League championship winning Western Sydney Wanderers Youth team. He played the full 90 minutes as they beat Melbourne City Youth 3–1 in the 2018 Y-League Grand Final on 3 February 2018.[9] He finished the season as top-scorer with nine goals in seven games, collecting the Y-League Golden Boot for his efforts.
