The former Montreal Impact, ASC HLM and Bakau United goal poacher signed a permanent deal with the Division One leaders.

According to Namory Trawally, Sports View Newspaper editor, the 28-year-old’s move to the Al Farwaniya-based side was on the player’s personal request to Bakau United which lead to an international transfer certificate been issued to him.
