Rwandan Premier League champions, APR FC have announced the departure of Nigerian forward Victor Mbaoma following the expiration of his contract after two successful years with the club.
The 26-year-old striker leaves the Kigali-based club on a high note, having played a pivotal role in their recent achievements. During his final season with APR FC, Mbaoma helped the team secure a domestic double, winning both the league title and cup competition.
Impressive Goal-Scoring Record
Mbaoma established himself as one of the most prolific strikers in Rwanda, finishing as joint-top scorer in the 2023/24 Rwandan Premier League with an impressive tally of 15 goals. His scoring prowess extended to continental competitions, where he netted twice in four appearances during APR's CAF Champions League campaign.
The former Enyimba striker was instrumental in helping APR FC successfully defend their league title last season, cementing his legacy at the club despite his relatively short stint.
What's Next for Mbaoma?
While APR FC has confirmed Mbaoma's departure, the Nigerian forward's next destination remains undisclosed. His impressive performances in Rwanda are likely to attract interest from clubs across Africa and possibly beyond.
Prior reports from BenriNews had linked Mbaoma with a potential move to Rivers United in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), while there were also suggestions of interest from Libyan side Al-Ittihad. However, no official announcement regarding his next club has been made.
Mbaoma's departure marks the end of a successful chapter for both the player and APR FC, with the Nigerian having significantly contributed to the club's recent dominance in Rwandan football.
