Obua Mugalula, who was released by Workington Reds at the end of last month, has found a new club.
The 23-year-old has signed for Stalybridge Celtic who were relegated last season from the NPL Premier Division into the West Division.
Mugalula made nine appearances for the Reds last season and scored seven goals in the club’s Cumberland Senior Cup winning campaign. He went into club folk-lore by scoring four goals in a record-breaking Fred Conway County Cup final.
Prior to his time in Cumbria, he played for St Helens in the North West Counties Football League.
The winger has been on trial with Stalybridge Celtic and featured in their pre-season friendly against Salford City.
After securing Mugalula for the 2023/24 season, manager James Kinsey said: “Obua has come in this week and shown what a threat he is from the off. He is physical and really enjoys getting at full-backs. He is direct and we believe he’s got the right personality to fit in here.
“The fans were shouting to sign him up at yesterday’s game, so we know he’ll be a popular signing with them.
“We’re excited to see how he develops here.”
Kinsey was appointed during the summer after former Workington boss Chris Willcock left the club.
