Forest Rangers Secure the Signing of Congolese Striker Chris Mugalu
Forest Rangers have officially completed the signing of Congolese striker Chris Mugalu, adding an experienced goal scorer to their attacking options. The 34-year-old forward joins the club on a free transfer after being without a team since June 2024, following his departure from Saudi Arabian outfit Al Washm SC. His arrival is expected to provide a significant boost to Forest Rangers as they look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the MTN Super League season.
Mugalu is no stranger to Zambian football, having previously played for Lusaka Dynamos, where he made a name for himself as a prolific striker. His goal-scoring prowess earned him a move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC, where he continued to impress with his sharp finishing and ability to influence matches in the final third. His return to Zambia marks a homecoming of sorts, as he looks to replicate the success he previously enjoyed in the league.
Forest Rangers have struggled in attack this season, and the addition of Mugalu could be the solution to their goal-scoring concerns. With his experience and proven track record, he brings leadership and quality to the frontline. His physicality, composure in front of goal, and ability to hold up play make him a valuable asset for the team, and fans will be eager to see how quickly he can settle back into Zambian football.
Speaking about his move, Mugalu expressed his excitement about returning to a league he is familiar with, stating that he is ready to give his best for Forest Rangers. The club’s management has also expressed confidence in his ability to contribute immediately, highlighting his experience and goal-scoring ability as key factors behind the decision to bring him on board.
With Forest Rangers aiming for a strong finish in the MTN Super League, the arrival of Chris Mugalu could be a game-changer for their campaign. His addition adds depth and experience to the squad, and if he rediscovers his best form, he could be one of the standout players in the second half of the season.
