Uganda Cranes midfielder Farouk Miya has joined Royal Excel Mouscron on loan from Standard Liege.
The club confirmed the short loan deal between the two sides has been reached which will see the midfielder spend the rest of the 2016-17 at Royal Excel Mouscron, a fellow Belgium Division A side.
“Standard de Liège, Royal Excel Mouscron and Farouk MIYA have reached an agreement,” read part of the statement on the standard liege website
Our young Ugandan attacking midfielder will be loaned to the Belgian club till the end of the season without a buy-out clause.
Miya joined Standard Liege in January last year from Vipers on a loan deal that was later made permanent but has struggled for playing time at the club that sits 9th on the log with 33 points at the moment after 24 games.
Royal Excel Mouscron sits at the base of the log with just 18 points from the same number of matches and unless otherwise, they will go down to the lower tier.
The attacking midfielder, despite struggling for playing time in Belgium has always starred well for the national team and scored Uganda’s only goal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
He was also named the man of the match in the 1-1 stalemate with Mali in Oyem.
At Kawowo Sports, we wish the lad all the best at his new home
