Ghanaian forward Jonathan Sowah has completed a move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC, signing a two-year contract following a prolific spell with Singida Black Stars.
The 25-year-old arrives at the Dar es Salaam-based club after an outstanding 2024/25 campaign in which he netted 15 goals in as many appearances, cementing his status as one of the most clinical forwards in the league.
His goal-scoring form quickly attracted the attention of Simba SC, who moved decisively to secure his signature as part of their preparations for the upcoming season.
In an official statement, the club praised Sowah’s striking instincts and ability to make the most of limited chances. Simba’s recruitment team cited his efficiency in front of goal as a key factor in the decision to bring him on board, emphasising their confidence in his potential impact on the team’s attacking prowess.
Speaking after completing the move, Sowah expressed his enthusiasm for the new challenge. He spoke highly of the club’s stature and ambition, highlighting how quickly the deal came together once talks began.
“Simba SC is a great club,” he said. “When they made contact, everything went smoothly. It was an easy decision for me because their ambitions match mine. I’m here to score goals and help the team win.”
Sowah’s arrival marks a significant addition to Simba SC’s attacking options as the club looks to reinforce its squad for both domestic and continental competitions.
His consistent goal-scoring record, combined with his physical presence and sharp instincts in the box, offers head coach Abdelhak Benchikha a reliable new weapon in the final third.
The move has already generated excitement among Simba’s loyal fanbase, who have been vocal on social media in welcoming the Ghanaian international. Supporters are eager to see whether his remarkable form can translate into similar success in the Tanzanian Premier League and beyond.
For Sowah, the move represents a crucial step in his professional journey. After making waves in the Ghana Premier League and impressing during his stint with Singida Black Stars, the transition to one of East Africa’s most high-profile clubs offers both a fresh platform and a higher level of competition.
Simba SC, who have been active in the transfer market in recent weeks, view Sowah as a key figure in their pursuit of silverware this season.
With the club aiming to reclaim the league title and make a deeper run in continental tournaments, the Ghanaian’s arrival underlines their intent to build a team capable of delivering on those goals.
As pre-season preparations continue, all eyes will be on Sowah to see how quickly he can settle into his new environment and replicate the scoring form that brought him to prominence. For both player and club, the expectations are high—and the opportunity to make an immediate impact is clear.
