Mohamed Mamoun Eisa (born 12 July 1994) is a Sudanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Exeter City on loan from EFL League Two club Milton Keynes Dons and the Sudan national team.
Born in Khartoum, Sudan,[3] Eisa's family moved to Camden, London when he was nine years old.[4][5]
After playing with the Pro Touch Soccer Academy,[4] Eisa had unsuccessful trials at Norwich City, Southend United and Oxford United.[6] He spent his early career in non-league football with Dartford, Leatherhead, VCD Athletic, Corinthian and Greenwich Borough.[7][8][9] At Greenwich he scored 57 goals in 100 appearances in all competitions before leaving the club in June 2017.[10]
He signed for Cheltenham Town on 7 July 2017 on an initial one-year deal.[11] After breaking into the first-team, in August 2017 Eisa signed a contract extension with the club until 2020.[12] On 24 March 2018, Eisa equalled Cheltenham's record for 20 league goals in a season.[13] On 6 April 2018, Eisa won the EFL League Two Player Of The Month Award.[14]
During the 2017–18 season he scored 25 goals for Cheltenham Town in all competitions, including 23 in EFL League Two.[15] His goalscoring saw him break Cheltenham's record for the most goals scored in a season.[16] In April 2018 he was nominated for the EFL League Two Player of the Season award.[17] At the club's end of season award, Eisa won the Supporters' Player Of The Year, Players' Player Of The Year and the Sponsors' Player Of The Year awards.[16]
During the 2018 pre-season he was linked with a transfer to Brentford, Leeds United and Portsmouth.[18][19] He signed for Bristol City on 23 July 2018.[20] He made six appearances for the club.[21]
On 1 June 2019, Eisa signed a four-year deal with League One club Peterborough United for an undisclosed, club record fee.[22][23] By 22 November 2019 he had scored 12 of Peterborough's 39 league goals.[24] On 11 May 2021 he was made available for transfer by Peterborough.[25]
On 20 July 2021, Eisa joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons for an undisclosed but reportedly club-record transfer fee, signing a long-term deal.[26][27][28] He scored his first goal for the club on his league debut in a 3–3 away fixture against Bolton Wanderers on 7 August 2021.[29] On 16 April 2022, Eisa suffered a serious injury during a 3–2 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season and beyond.[30] During his first season with the club he scored 12 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions.[31]
On 30 January 2024, Eisa returned to League One, joining Exeter City on loan for the remainder of the season.[32][33] Milton Keynes Dons released a statement suggesting Eisa's time with the club had come to an end having scored 31 goals in 101 appearances and thanking him for his efforts.[34]
Eisa scored on his international debut with the Sudan national team in a 1–1 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification tie with Togo on 16 November 2023. He was replaced at half-time by his brother Abo, who was also making his international debut.[35]
He has four brothers, one of whom, Abo, is also a professional footballer.[36][37][38] Abo has said that Mohamed has been a role model to him.[39] A younger brother Omar is also a footballer.[39]
