MBABANE – Nigerian striker Aladeon Kola is trying his luck with ABSA
Premiership League side Maritzburg United.
He started training with the KwaZulu Natal-based outfit yesterday after his
three month contract with Mbabane Swallows expired after the ‘Birds’ exit in
the CAF Champions League. A source close to the matter confirmed yesterday that
Maritzburg United were assessing the player. If the move materialises, he will
join former Manzini Sundowns Justice Figareido. Aledeon is still in the most
wanted books of his former team, Manzini Wanderers and Mbabane Swallows but his
first preference is to play in the money spinning ABSA Premier League. “He
left the country on Monday for Maritzburg, where he will be assessed for a week
and then maybe a deal will come out.
He is a good player and his performance with Mbabane Swallows in the CAF
Champions League created interest from a number of teams,” said the source.
The Nigeria-born forward makes waves across the continent and beyond after
scoring two goals. His goal scored in the 1-2 loss to Club Desportivo in the
final Group D match was rated in the top five goals of the round by the
Confederation of African Football (CAF). Tunisian giants Club African, who
feature prominently in Africa’s premier club competition, Young African from
Tanzania are among the teams that have shown interest in the player.
