Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Ghanaian attacker Michael Sarpong is elated after netting his first league goal for AS Kigali in the ongoing season.<\/p>\n

Sarpong joined the Kigali City sponsored club as a free agent on a three month deal in March and he scored his maiden league goal over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The talented forward was happy with the goal as his side drew 2-2 with Etincelles on Sunday and he hopes to score more.<\/p>\n

“I feel great to score in the Rwandan premier league again. I\u2019m back home to do what I use to do best and even more,” Sarpong told Times Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were just unlucky we didn\u2019t get the win against Etincelles but hopefully the wins will start coming and we\u2019ll finish the season in a very good position.”<\/p>\n

Sarpong previously attained cult status at Rayon Sports where his 16 league goals during the 2018\/2019 season helped the Blues to lift the league title.<\/p>\n
