He failed to make an appearance for Créteil and his contract was terminated early in 2005 at his own request. In September 2005, he underwent a trial at Football League One side Swansea City and impressed in a friendly against Team Bath. Sissoko was offered a three month contract with the Welsh side but due to problems with his partner's work permit he rejected the offer. Sissoko was also scouted by several English clubs but in February 2006 he signed for Football League Two side Notts County on a deal until the end of the season. He made his debut for the club on 14 February 2006, in a 2–1 home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers at Meadow Lane. He played two more games for the Magpies before he was released in the summer. He signed for Greek Super League side Kerkyra in 2006 and stayed there for one season. In the summer of 2007 he signed for French sixth division side FC Drouais.
