Suleiman Braimoh will reinforce the frontcourt of the Inhereda San Pablo Burgos in the 2021-22 season in the Spanish League and the Basketball Champions League (BCL). The 2.03 m power forward has the quality and strength to perform reliably in positions close to the hoop.

The Nigerian power forward began his career in the U.S. College league, where he competed with the Rice Owls of Houston. At the end of that stage, Braimoh joined the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA G League.

Between 2013 and 2015, he gained his first international experience, playing in New Zealand and Mexico, before signing with the Giessen 46ers of Germany. After two campaigns in Russia's Enisey Krasnoyarsk, in which he also had a short stint with the French Nanterre 92, the player headed for Israel, where he competed for the last three seasons.

In the 2018-19 season, he was part of Hapoel Eilat and averaged 15.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. In the following season, he signed with Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem, reaching the quarterfinals of the BCL Final 8 in Athens and falling to eventual champs Burgos, his current team. Over the 2020-21 campaign, Braimoh averaged 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
