Ghanaian striker Michael Sarpong has returned to the Rwandan premier league after two years.

The forward signed a three-month deal with AS Kigali after having a short stint with Saudi Arabian second tier side Al Nahda.

Sarpong revealed that he signed a short term deal with the Kigali City sponsored club as he wants to be active until the next transfer window after cancelling his contract in Saudi Arabia.

"I left my club in Saudi Arabia because of salary issues, the club had a financial problem so I cancelled my contract and can’t be home until June without playing. That is why I came here. " Sarpong stated in an interview with Times Sport.

"Definitely I have a couple of options in summer but want to play and be active until that time."

Sarpong attained cult status in Rwandan football during the 2018/2019 season as his sixteen league goals propelled Rayon Sports to the league title.

He left for Yanga SC in 2020 after his contract with Rayon Sports was terminated.
