He was born in Kiang Jiffarong to Gambian parents Lamin Barrow and Kaddy Drammeh who, including his Uncle Omar Drammeh, Sarjo said, all contributed immensely in his quest to excel to a better standard in his football playing career. Sarjo Barrow is a rare talent in the country's football, at the youth category. He possesses amazing skills, including the ability to easily beat past the defenders, when given the space.

In fact, Sarjo is widely rated as one of the finest chaps ever to play football in Kiang Jiffarong.
Sarjo subsequently played for a number of Nawettan clubs, where he was once again instrumental in leading his former club Real De Sanchaba to a Super Cup final.
