Ex-Sofapaka striker lands deal in Ukraine

• Print PDF

Former Sofapaka, Rangers and Ligi Ndogo forward Abbas Akinyemi has joined Ukraine lower tier side FC Bucha.

The club’s official website fcbucha.org has confirmed the signing of the Nigerian alongside five other players.

Career

Abbas made his name in the Kenyan Premier league (KPL) in the first leg of the 2010 season when he was the best scorer with five goals early on.

But he got lesser games thereafter and failed to increase his tally. At the close of that season he was released by 2009 Champions Sofapaka.

He nearly joined Tusker for the 2011 season but an imminent move fell apart with a day of the transfer window to go.

After the Tusker heart break he joined Ligi Ndogo SC but was later loaned out to Rangers FC in the KPL.

He moved to Ukraine in July 2012 and has been on trials since then before being signed by his new club, FC Bucha.
