Egyptian Premier League newcomers Pharco FC have successfully sign Nigerian midfielder Kingsley Sokari (26) on a free transfer.
Pharco were promoted to the Egyptian Premier League for the first time in the club’s history after topping their Second Divison group last season.
The team was founded in 2010 and climbed its way up the football pyramid to reach the Second Division just four years later.
The club is strengthening its ranks as they have renewed head coach Magdy Abdel-Aaty’s contract and released 14 players to make room for new transfers.
The defensive midfielder has been a free agent since his contract with CS Sfaxien came to an end last July after a five-and-a-half-year spell with the White and Black.
Coming through the youth ranks of Enyimba, Sokari moved to Tunisia in December 2015 for a fee of €500,000, making over 135 appearances there in which he scored 12 goals.
Sokari lifted two Tunisian cups with the CSS and will now hope for new successes in Egypt with Pharco FC, where he will join fellow countryman Anthony Lokosa.
On the international level, Sokari has two caps to his name, with both of them coming in 2015 against Ivory Coast and South Africa.
