AFC Leopards midfielder Fabrice Mugheni has ditched the club for the Rwandese side AS Kigali for an undisclosed period of time.The Congolese midfielder had not featured for Leopards since 6th June when he picked a knee injury against Bungoma Superstars in an FKF Cup round of 16 match in Thika. A few weeks ago, he came out to announce that he was struggling to cater to his needs due to the nonpayment of his salary by Ingwe.We are delighted to announce @fabricemugheni is joining the club 💪🏽 Welcome in As Kigalii#Citizens💚💛⚽️ pic.twitter.com/LX5mPj2WfF— AS KIGALI (@AS_KigaliFC) July 22, 2021 “I am totally broke, I cannot afford even my next meal and there is no one I can run to, I want the club to pay me my dues because I do not think it’s fair for me to suffering this way yet I am contracted to the club,” he told Mozzart Sport in an earlier interview.He has now moved on, returning to the Rwandan Premier League as announced by the two-time cup winners. Mugheni joined AFC Leopards in August 2020 from Rayon Sports on a one-year deal. He went on to establish himself as a cog in Leopards’ midfield until when he picked that injury against Bungoma Superstars.🦿|Quick Feet✅The Skill✅Fabrice Mugheni of @AFCLeopards #BKPL pic.twitter.com/iBWIlbdWwG— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) April 14, 2021 His departure is a massive blow for Leopards who are currently depleted due to injuries, contractual issues, and the CECAFA U23 Championship in Ethiopia where three of their players are part of the team representing the country.Goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan, defender Cylde Senaji, and midfielder Tsuma Said also appear to have left the club after their contracts expired at the end of June.
