Liberian international striker Kpah Sherman has reportedly agreed to join Kuala Lumpur City FC, just days after becoming a free agent following Sri Pahang FC’s withdrawal from the Malaysian Super League.
According to Malaysian sports outlet Astro Arena, the deal has already been signed and an official announcement is expected in the coming days. Sherman’s move comes as no surprise, given his stellar reputation in Malaysia’s top-tier football.
The 32-year-old forward has been a mainstay in the Malaysian Super League for the past seven years, amassing an impressive record that highlights his consistency and goal-scoring prowess. In 103 league appearances, Sherman has registered a total of 76 goal contributions, including 59 goals and 17 assists.
His breakout season came in 2018, when he finished as the league’s top scorer, earning the coveted Golden Boot and cementing his status as one of the league’s most lethal attackers.
Sherman’s move to Kuala Lumpur City FC signals a continuation of his successful journey in Malaysian football, despite the turbulence caused by Sri Pahang’s sudden financial collapse and league exit. The veteran striker’s experience and proven track record are expected to provide a major boost to KL City’s attacking lineup.
This signing also reinforces KL City’s ambitions to challenge for honors in the upcoming season, as the club seeks to rebuild and strengthen its squad with seasoned talent.
For Sherman, the deal marks a new chapter in a career that has seen him shine in South Africa, Tanzania, and across Southeast Asia. As the Liberian forward prepares to don a new jersey, fans will be watching closely to see if he can maintain the high standards that have defined his time in Malaysian football.
