Zambian midfielder Prince Mumba has completed a free transfer to Iraqi Stars League side Al-Gharraff SC following his departure from MTN Super League champions Power Dynamos.
The Iraqi club confirmed the signing, with Mumba beginning a new chapter in his career after leaving Arthur Davies Stadium upon the expiry of his contract just a few days ago.
The move sees the talented midfielder become the latest Zambian player to pursue opportunities abroad as he prepares for his first experience in Asian football.
Successful Spell at Power Dynamos
Mumba joined Power Dynamos in 2024 and quickly established himself as a key figure in the club’s midfield.
During his time with Aba Yellow, he played a pivotal role in one of the most successful periods in the club’s recent history, helping Power Dynamos secure back-to-back MTN Super League titles.
His leadership qualities also earned him the role of deputy captain, reflecting the trust and confidence the club had in his abilities both on and off the pitch.
The diminutive midfielder became known for his composure in possession, energy in midfield and ability to dictate the tempo of matches.
New Challenge in Iraq
Mumba now joins Al-Gharraff SC, who will compete in the Iraq Stars League, the country’s top-flight football division.
The club enjoyed a historic rise after finishing runners-up in the Iraqi Premier Division League during the 2024/25 season to earn promotion to the Iraq Stars League for the first time in their history.
In their maiden campaign in the top flight, Al-Gharraff finished 14th and will now look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season, with Mumba expected to add quality and experience in midfield.
Looking Ahead
The move offers Mumba an opportunity to test himself in a new football environment while continuing his professional development.
Having enjoyed domestic success with Power Dynamos, the Zambian international will now aim to make a positive impact in the Iraqi Stars League and help Al-Gharraff establish themselves among the country’s top clubs.
Conclusion
Prince Mumba leaves Power Dynamos as a two-time league champion and respected leader after making a significant contribution to the club’s recent success.
His move to Al-Gharraff SC marks the beginning of an exciting new journey, with the midfielder hoping to continue flying the Zambian flag high in Asian football.
