Persib Turn To Udo For Good Fortune
Persib have finally called time on Djibril Coulibaly, their new signing from Barito Putra. The striker who made his debut for the West Java team against Persita in the Inter Island Cup, scoring in the process, has been injured for a while now and club had been mumbling about releasing him for some time now.
Now, it seems they have bitten the bullet and let him go. However, in true Persib fashion, they have moved quickly to release him, snapping up Fortune Udo to lead their goal chase in the Indonesia Super League that begins next month.
For a 25 year, Udo has certainly been around the block. He first created waves in this part of the world when he was part of Sporting Afrique, a one off venture that played in the SLeague several years back.
He must have impressed because he moved to Balestier Khalsa in 2006 before heading across the Causeway to Negeri Sembilan.
His first spell in Indonesia was short lived with Arema before moving to Persikab and then a prolific season with Persiba Bantul which made clubs round the region sit up and take notice.
He eventually moved to Binh Duong in Vietnam and from there he headed to Israel and Ramat HaSharon.
And now he is back in Indonesia with Persib!
