Ceesay made his debut for Gambia against Namibia playing with fellow Djurgården player Pa Dembo Touray.^[5] With his contract ending after the 2012 season he declared that he wouldn't accept sitting on the bench at Djurgården. He received a contract offer from Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers^[6] but instead chose to sign with Polish club Lech Poznań in August 2012.^[7] On 18 July 2016 he returned to Djurgårdens IF on a 2,5 year deal.^[8]

Already on 13 November 2018, it was confirmed, that Ceesay had signed with IK Sirius and would join the club for the 2019 season on a one-year contract.^[9]
