Fasil Kenema have announced the signing of Ethiopia national team striker Getaneh Kebede on a two-year contract from Wolkite City.
The 30-year-old Kebede is a two-time African Golden Boot winner and is considered one of the best strikers in Africa. He has scored over 100 goals in his career, including 29 goals in the Ethiopian Premier League last season.
Kebede is expected to boost Fasil Kenema’s chances of winning the Ethiopian Premier League title this season. The club finished as runners-up last season, two points behind champions Saint George.
Kebede is the latest high-profile signing by Fasil Kenema in recent years. The club has also signed the likes of Alula Girma, Behailu Assefa, and Yared Baye in recent years.
Fasil Kenema are the defending champions of the Ethiopian Cup and will be looking to win the double this season. The club will also be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup this season.
Kebede is expected to make his debut for Fasil Kenema in their next Ethiopian Premier League match against Jimma Aba Jifar on August 20.
Kebede’s signing is a major coup for Fasil Kenema and is a sign of the club’s ambition. The club is hoping to challenge for the Ethiopian Premier League title this season and Kebede will be a key player in their quest for silverware.
