Sierra Leonean defender Alieu Kargbo has signed a two-year deal with Liberian top tier league club Fassel FC.
The former Mighty Blackpool defender, who was unveiled at the club’s ground over the weekend, made his debut in his club’s 2-2 draw with BYC on Sunday at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium.
According to Prince Scott, a Sierra Leonean sports journalist who is currently based in Liberia, the move by the Liberian outfit for Kargbo was part of their ambitious drive to strengthen their defence.
He said despite the club winning their opening two matches in the ongoing Liberian league, they are still engaged in recruiting more players.
Kargbo became the fourth Sierra Leonean footballer to join a Liberia topflight league side after Nimba United unveiled former Bo Rangers skipper Lamin Janneh, Kamboi Eagles striker Amadu Barrie, and Victory Evangelistic FC midfielder Foday Suma few weeks ago.
The trio all joined the Liberian side on a year loan deal as the club prepares for continental competition.
Nimba United will face Cameroon’s Union Club da Douala on 14 February in Monrovia in the CAF Champions League.
