DR Congo International Makes Shock Move To Vipers

DR Congo international Lobi Manzoki on Thursday completed a shock move to Uganda Premier League champions Vipers Sports Club.

Manzoki was initially unveiled at Tunisia Ligue One outfit Olympique de Beja, but the deal fell through before the player could be registered.

The 24-year-old has since landed at Kitende after making a switch from DR Congo giants AS Vita and has signed a two-year deal with the Venoms.

Manzoki, who will wear jersey 12, is hoping to win more titles for Fred Kajoba’s men in the coming years.

“I am so happy to be here. I want to use this chance well. My dream is to become an important player for Vipers,” the forward told Vipers.co.ug.

“I don’t regret this move because it took me time to make this decision to move here. I chose the best team out of the many clubs that were after me and I am proud of it.”

Manzoki made 58 appearances and scored 38 goals in all competitions for the Black Dolphins where he stayed for three seasons.

Prior to joining Vita, the attacker featured for AS Maniema Union between 2016 – 2017 scoring 12 goals in 21 appearances.
