Express FC forward Eric Kambale has completed his move to Sudanese Premier League, TheTouchline Sports can confirm.
The Congolese has put pen to paper on a two-year employment contract after impressing the Al Merrick tactical in the last few days.
Touchline Sports can confirm that Al Merrick has paid over $40,000 to Express FC (which is more than Shs150m in Ugandan shillings) to sign Kambale who had a year left on his contract.
Reports suggest Kambale will earn in excess of $45,000-per- year at Al Merrick.
In the same vein, The Sudanese Giants won’t sign Joseph Dhata after the player failed trials.
Kambale has been one of the lethal strikers in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League in the past two seasons. He was integral in Express’ StarTimes Uganda Premier League title triumph in 2020/21 season, finishing as the second highest league top scorer ( 15 goals) as the Red Eagles won their first league title in close to a decade.
While last season, he finished the league with eight goals in 24 appearances for the Red Eagles.
Kambale was also a key pillar as Express clinched the 2021 Kagame CECAFA Cup, bagging three goals at the tournament.
It should also be noted that Kambale scored one of the two goals as the Red Eagles beat Al-Merrikh 2-1 at the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League in 2021 at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende. They were however eliminated on away goals rule after losing 1-0 in Khartoum, Sudan.
Al Merrick currently sits second on the 16-team log with 62 points in 26 games. They are just three points below leaders Al Hilal with four games left to play.
