Former PSL top goalscorer Mwape Musonda has completed a transfer to Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit Lerumo Lions FC, FARPost can confirm.
The experienced Zambian striker made a big name for himself at Black Leopards during his four-year stint between 2016 and 2020.
Musonda first arrived in South Africa in 2014 to join the Betway Premiership defending champions Orlando Pirates, but later moved to Golden Arrows the following season after finding regular game time hard to come by at the Soweto giants.
He eventually secured a move to Limpopo to join Lidoda Duvha, where his career hit top gear. The forward finished as the top goalscorer in the National First Division during the 2017/18 campaign, helping Leopards gain promotion. He then went on to win the Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot as the South African top-flight’s leading scorer the following season.
