MTN Super League champions Power Dynamos have officially confirmed the return of Joshua “Budo” Mutale, with the versatile attacker rejoining the Kitwe giants as a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Tanzanian powerhouse Simba SC.
Mutale has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, completing his return to Arthur Davies Stadium two years after leaving the club for Simba SC.
Homecoming for ‘Budo’
The return marks a major boost for Aba Yellow, who have brought back one of the club’s most exciting attacking talents ahead of the 2026 Transitional MTN Super League season and their CAF Champions League campaign.
Power Dynamos confirmed the deal, welcoming Mutale back to the club where he first made his name as one of Zambia’s most dangerous attacking players.
Earned His Move to Simba SC
Mutale secured his move to Simba SC after an outstanding 2023/24 MTN Super League campaign with Power Dynamos.
Operating as both a winger and a No. 10, he produced an impressive eight goals and seven assists, playing a pivotal role in the club’s title challenge and establishing himself as one of the league’s standout performers.
His performances convinced Simba SC to complete his signing on a contract that initially ran until June 2027, giving him the opportunity to compete for honours in Tanzania and on the continental stage.
Loan Spell in Saudi Arabia
Although contracted to Simba SC, Mutale spent last season on loan at Saudi Arabian second-tier side Al-Adalah SC, where he gained valuable experience in another competitive league.
Now back in Zambia, the attacking midfielder returns with added maturity and international experience.
Huge Boost for the Champions
Mutale’s versatility, pace, creativity and eye for goal make him a valuable addition to the reigning league champions.
Capable of playing on either wing or in an advanced midfield role, “Budo” provides Power Dynamos with greater tactical flexibility as they prepare to defend their MTN Super League title and challenge in the CAF Champions League.
Conclusion
Joshua “Budo” Mutale’s return is one of the biggest homecomings of the transfer window.
After earning a move abroad through his outstanding performances for Power Dynamos and gaining experience in Tanzania and Saudi Arabia, the attacking star is back where it all began and will be eager to help Aba Yellow achieve more success.
