Muhammad Sulumba contract expires at Civil Service United – on the way to join Mighty Wanderers

By Sam Banda

Forward Muhammad Sulumba has left Civil Service United following the expiry of his contract.

Reports suggest that the 30-year-old striker is on his way to rejoining Mighty Wanderers for a second spell.

Civil’s General Secretary, Ronald Chiwaula, has confirmed that Sulumba, who also starred for Nyasa Big Bullets, has been cleared to join a club of his choice after the club decided not to renew his contract.

Nevertheless, Chiwaula says the government-sponsored side is highly indebted to Sulumba for his contribution during his stay at the Lilongwe-based club with whom he joined in 2019.

The former Blantyre United player scored 9 goals in the league last season to help Civil finish in the top 8 and secure qualification for Airtel Top 8 showpiece.

He becomes the 11th player to leave the Servants who also released ten players two weeks ago over performance and contracts related issues.

Sulumba, who also had a brief stint with South Africa’s Polokwane City, is set for a second spell at Lali Lubani where he became a household name in 2017 before he made a surprise move to rivals Nyasa Big Bullets.
