Steven Mukwala set to join Tanzanian giants Simba after leaving Kotoko

Ugandan striker Steven Mukwala is on the verge of finalising a move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC after leaving Asante Kotoko following the expiration of his contract.

Reports from East Africa indicate that the 24-year-old is close to signing a lucrative three-year deal with Simba, leveraging his reputation as a prolific scorer in the Ghana Premier League.

Negotiations between Mukwala and Simba are said to be in advanced stages, with the striker expected to receive a significant sign-on fee of $130,000 and a monthly salary of $9,000.

Mukwala bid an emotional farewell to Kotoko, with the club announcing his departure on Monday, marking the end of his tenure with the Porcupine Warriors since he joined them in 2022.

 

During his time at Kotoko, Mukwala emerged as a key player, scoring over 25 goals in 65 league appearances. Having transferred from Ugandan side URA FC, Mukwala made an immediate impact in his first season with Kotoko, scoring 11 goals.

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.

Mukwala is now among 19 players departing Kotoko and hopes to continue his impressive career in Tanzania.
