He had been scouted while playing local football for Sutton Coldfield Town in Birmingham. He made an early impression and became the first scholar in West Brom history to play for the U-23's, featuring in a number of matches for Deon Burton's side during the 2020–21 campaign. He was also a regular fixture in Albion's U-18 side and enjoyed a prolific season, scoring seven goals.
He made his professional debut on 25 August 2021, coming on as a substitute for Kenneth Zohore, in a 0–6 loss to Arsenal in the second round of the EFL Cup. On 13 August 2024, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 away defeat against Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup first round.

His performances prior to his recall saw him win the February National League North Player of the Month award having scored five goals across the month and scoring a total of 10 goals in the 16 games during his full spell at the National League North side.
On 11 August 2023, Faal joined League Two club Doncaster Rovers on a season-long loan deal. On 13 January 2024, he returned to his parent club with manager Grant McCann expressing his disappointment in the way that the striker had handled the situation.
