Tanzanian side Simba SC sign former Asante Kotoko striker Steven Mukwala

Tanzanian powerhouse Simba SC have clinched a major coup by signing former Asante Kotoko striker Steven Desse Mukwala.

The Ugandan star moves to Simba on a free transfer after parting ways with Kotoko following the expiration of his contract last month.

Mukwala, known for his sharp instincts in front of goal, has committed to a three-year deal with Simba, marking a pivotal moment ahead of the 2024/25 football season.

His arrival is expected to bolster Simba SC's attacking prowess significantly, aiming to dominate both domestically and on the African continent.

The 24-year-old's tenure at Kotoko saw him emerge as a pivotal figure, scoring over 25 goals in 65 league appearances.

His impact was immediate, with an impressive debut season tallying 11 goals, including a standout brace against Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash.

Last season, Mukwala further underlined his prowess with 14 goals, solidifying his reputation as a potent goal-scorer.

Simba SC will rely heavily on Mukwala's ability to find the net as they pursue glory in both local competitions and the wider African stage.

His signing represents a bold statement of intent from the Tanzanian giants, positioning themselves for formidable challenges ahead.
