Former Simba SC forward Paul Mungai Kiongera has completed a
return back to Kenya’s SportPesa Premier League.
Kiongera inked a one year deal with 13-time champions AFC
Leopards to join the den after lengthy negotiations that concluded on Monday
this week.
Simba (Tanzania) did not renew Kiongera’s two year contract
at the expiry of the difficult stay for the Kenyan international at the Dar
giants that was dogged by a nagging knee injury.
He was looned back to his parent club KCB in the 2015 season
after a successful surgery in India – he scored 11 goals for the bankers before
spending the last six months of his contract with Simba.
His arrival could signal the end of June transfer business
for head coach Ivan Minnaert who already signed more players including
defenders Charles Bruno and Edwin Wafula, midfielders Bernard Mang’oli, Harun
Nyakha and John Ndirangu, goalkeeper Ian Otieno and Rayon Sport duo of Emmanuel
Imanishimiwe and Ismailia Diarra, both who should be confirmed in next coming days
before the window closes on July 2.
Kiongera is expected to help lift goalscoring burden on
Kepha Aswani, or take it up altogether with the latter negotiating a move to
Omani club Al Nasr.
