Club career

Sow signed a three-year professional contract with Crystal Palace in April 2012.[4] In May 2014 Sow joined Finnish side FC Honka on a three-month loan deal,[5] where he made seven appearances in the Veikkausliiga.[2] He signed a one-month loan deal with Conference South club Farnborough in January 2015.[6][7] On 8 May 2015, it was announced that Sow would not be offered a new contract by Crystal Palace and would leave the club.[8]

Sow signed for St Albans City in August 2015,[9] before moving to Dulwich Hamlet in January 2016.[10] After finishing the 2015–16 season with Dulwich, making 11 appearances in all competitions,[11] the club announced that they were not offering Sow a new contract ahead of the 2016–17 season.[12]

Sow joined Lewes in August 2016.[13]

In July 2018, Sow joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Merstham.[14] One year later, he joined Kingstonian.[15] He combines his non-league career with roles at Crystal Palace as a player liaison officer and as head coach of their under-9 team.[3]

International career

Sow represented England at under-16 youth level.[3]

gollark: It's easy to say that if you are just vaguely considering that, running it through the relatively unhurried processes of philosophizing™, that sort of thing. But probably less so if it's actually being turned over to emotion and such, because broadly speaking people reaaaallly don't want to die.
gollark: Am I better at resisting peer pressure than other people: well, I'd *like* to think so, but so would probably everyone else ever.
gollark: Anyway, I have, I think, reasonably strong "no genocide" ethics. But I don't know if, in a situation where everyone seemed implicitly/explicitly okay with helping with genocides, and where I feared that I would be punished if I either didn't help in some way or didn't appear supportive of helping, I would actually stick to this, since I don't think I've ever been in an environment with those sorts of pressures.
gollark: Maybe I should try arbitrarily increasing the confusion via recursion.
gollark: If people are randomly assigned (after initial mental development and such) to an environment where they're much more likely to do bad things, and one where they aren't, then it seems unreasonable to call people who are otherwise the same worse from being in the likely-to-do-bad-things environment.I suppose you could argue that how "good" you are is more about the change in probability between environments/the probability of a given real world environment being one which causes you to do bad things. But we can't check those with current technology.
