Ismail Mgunda joins Simba SC on two-year deal as replacement for Mwalimu

Tanzanian giants Simba SC have completed the signing of Ismail Mgunda on a two-year contract as the club move to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

Mgunda joins Simba as a replacement for Mwalimu, with the club agreeing a package that includes a TSh70 million transfer fee for his services.

Under the terms of the deal, Simba will also pay the player a TSh80 million signing-on fee, while he is set to earn a monthly salary of TSh6 million.

The agreement brings Mgunda into Simba’s ranks as the club continue to reshape their squad and prepare for the demands of domestic and continental competition.

Mgunda’s arrival is expected to add further depth to the squad, with Simba moving quickly to secure his services and complete the necessary arrangements ahead of their upcoming fixture.

The player has already been included in Simba’s squad list for their trip to face Kagera Sugar, an indication that he could be involved immediately following the completion of his move.

His inclusion on the travelling squad means Mgunda is in line to make his first appearance for Simba against Kagera Sugar, subject to the necessary registration and technical decisions.

The two-year agreement gives Simba an opportunity to integrate the player into their plans while providing Mgunda with a fresh challenge at one of Tanzania’s leading clubs.

The deal also underlines Simba’s intention to maintain a competitive squad as they target success across their domestic and continental campaigns.

With Mgunda now part of the travelling squad, attention will turn to whether the new signing makes his debut against Kagera Sugar and how quickly he establishes himself under the club’s new plans.
