Former Asante Kotoko striker Steven Mukwala has shared his excitement about joining Tanzanian giants Simba SC.
The talented forward expressed his joy and anticipation for the new chapter in his career on his official social media page.
“It’s all but a new challenge, and I’m aware of the task ahead. I’m proud to be a new lion in the city,” Mukwala tweeted.
“His post was accompanied by Simba SC’s signature red and lion emoji, and the Swahili phrase “NGUVU MOJA,” which translates to “one force.” He also tagged Simba SC’s official handle in his post.
The Uganda international joined the club on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Kotoko.
Mukwala and the Ghanaian giants opted to part ways after his contract expired last month. However, he has penned a three-year contract with the Tanzanian outfit ahead of the 2024/25 football season.
The 24-year-old will be a great addition to the Simba SC squad as they seek to make an impact both domestically and in Africa.
Mukwala joined Kotoko in 2022 from Ugandan side URA FC and quickly became a key player for the Porcupine Warriors, scoring over 25 goals in 65 league appearances.
In his debut season with Kotoko, Mukwala scored 11 goals, making an immediate impact. He further improved his performance in the recently concluded season, netting 14 goals, including a memorable brace against Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash.
