20-year-old Sierra Leonean leads club to promotion in Italy

By Mohamed Jaward Nyallay

Twenty-year old Sierra Leonean star, Augustus Kargbo, led Reggio Audace to promotion to Seria B last Wednesday after a 21 year wait. His header was enough to win the Seria C against opponents, Bari and get his club automatically promoted.

Kargbo’s header was his tenth goal of the season in twenty four appearances.

Speaking to the UK based website, Football Sierra Leone.net, Kargbo said his success this season is down to support from the coaching staff.

“I am happy, I want to thank the coaching staff and without them I could not have made it,” he said, adding: “I am really happy for my first career triumph that elevated the team to Seria B after 21 years. I have always wanted to win and to play at the highest level. This is a great achievement, but it is just the start.”

Kargbo is still a player for Seria B side, Crotone. Crotone who are set to finish second in Seria B will now have to make a decision about his future. The player said he is open to the idea of returning to his former employers where competition for a starting spot is expected to be much tougher.
