After being snubbed
by Burundian international Laudit Mavugo, Simba SC have reacted quickly
to bring in Congolese striker, Masoud Frederick Masanga, to fill the
former's void.
Simba's President,
Evance Aveva, confirmed to the 'Daily News' yesterday that Masanga from
Lubumbashi's side St Eloi Lupopo FC arrived in the country on Sunday
night alongside another Congolese player, whose name could not
immediately be established and straight away, they went to join the team
in Morogoro for trials.
"It is true that
we've imported two players from FC Lupopo and they have since joined the
team's camp in Morogoro," said Aveva. He said the technical bench under
head coach Joseph Omog will scrutinize the players and decide on
whether to make the permanent move or otherwise," he said.
The duo brings the
number of foreign players currently with the club to nine. Others are
striker Ndjack Anong Guy Serges from Cameroon, defender Juuko Murshid
(Uganda), midfielder, Goue Frederic Noel Blagnon and goalkeeper Vincent
Agban (Ivory Coast).
