On 19 April 2024, Teah signed a four-year contract with the Swedish club Hammarby, the transfer will become official in the summer transfer window in July 2024.[5] He made his Allsvenskan debut in the 1–0 loss to IFK Göteborg.[6]
Slavia Prague
editOn 30 October 2024 it was announced by Hammarby that Teah, after making 7 substitute appearances in the league and a 90-minute appearance in a qualification match against IFK Stocksund in the Swedish Cup, was sold to the Czech club SK Slavia Prague for a sum that could reach close to 50 million Swedish krona. The deal was set to be made official on 1 January 2025.[7][8] He signed a five year contract, up until 31 December 2029. Fellow Liberian player Oscar Dorley, who was already at Slavia, claimed that he would help Teah adapt to the new league.[9]
