Kibwage finally ends frustrating stay with Sofapaka

Defender Mike Kibwage is now a free agent after his two-year contract with Sofapaka FC expired this week.

Kibwage’s stay at the club has by and large been frustrating after his previous attempt to terminate his contract over pay led to an ugly falling out.

After going five months without a salary, Kibwage wrote to the club seeking to have his contract terminated but that request was rejected and the player was frozen out of the first team.

"It is true I am a free agent now, I have been out since June last year after the Club refused to let me go but I am glad my two year contract has run down, I went for five-and-a-half months without pay and had to call it quits.

"Right now I am not in talks with any team since the transfer window closed, but once I do definitely you will know about it,” Kibwage told Citizen Digital.

Indeed, the 25-year-old has not featured in competitive football for Sofapaka since June last year. He summarized his sixteen months at Sofapaka as an unpleasant experience and said he was keen to make an informed decision in his next move.

“I have learnt my lessons the hard way and going forward I will thoroughly scrutinize any contact before putting pen to paper, this has not been easy for me.”
