Kick-Off, South Africa’s leading soccer magazine, has compiled the list of 30 worst foreign strikers in the PSL era.

Other players appearing on the list are Shingi Kawondera, Serge Djiehoua, Kabanga Tshamala, Norikazu Murakami, Bryan Aldave, Aubin Takutchie, Elton Morelato, Louis Agyemang, Rodreck Mutuma, Joseph Masel and Ibrahim Omotayo.

The 30 players failed to make a mark in their PSL career despite their reputation. Msowoya has been rated 19th among the worst foreign strikers.

“Msowoya was touted as being better than Didier Drogba back home by some Malawi fans when Ivory Coast arrived in Blantyre for an Afcon qualifier four years ago.

“However, his time at Pirates was difficult, he was handed 15 starts (plus two substitute appearances) in his first year (2010-11) at the Club, reaping just two goals- one in the cup and one in the PSL, which was a beauty against Ajax Cape Town,” reported the publication.

And during his short stint at Platinum Stars, the former Escom player scored a single goal in four games.

Meanwhile, Msowoya, who started his football journey at Kradd FC, has joined Big Bullets after the expiry of his contract with his Mozambican club, Costa do Sol.

  1. Msowoya needs to have pace, learn to dribble past defenders, good passes and so on. But what he knows is to wait in the box and then fire at the goal. So if he is tightly marked he can’t find the net.

  2. May be the clubs were too small for him to perform better. In other words he was too big for these club. By the way how is the general performance of the said clubs?

  3. 1/4 goal per game in four games not too bad. Even the best don’t score in every game. Bogus rating bent to victimise foreigners. Is it Msowoya who is not scoring @ AFCON 2015? Eyah! Answer?

  4. Let us wait and see.Heston Munthali performed wonders in his old age at BB.What can stop him reclaiming his glory given the best arsenal at BB.

  5. This guy looks to be over 30 years old surely he is probably in his 35+ years. SUre can’t run the same, he should have retired but what else will he do? Don’t know the guy, but I assume he doesn’t have much options.

  6. They didn’t give him enough time t excel,here in SA to play for these clubs you don’t need adjustment,what they need is to show what you got from the word go.They can be patient with a SA player not a foreigner.

  7. We have indeed been vindicated now.He is no material worth bosting about.Recycled footballer who is past his prime.Am a Bullets fan forever!!!
