Mohammed Bajaber Returns From Injury to Fire Simba SC Warning Shot to Yanga With Debut Goal

Mohammed Bajaber joined Simba SC from Kenya Police FC on August 2, as he was officially unveiled by the Tanzanian giants.

The former Kenya Police FC star’s move to Simba Sc led to his withdrawal from the Harambee Stars CHAN 2024 squad.

The African Nations Championship only features football players from the local leagues, and Mohammed Bajaber, having signed with Simba SC just days before the tournament, was ineligible. He joined Simba SC’s pre-season tour in Egypt.

Mohammed Bajaber bounced back from an injury and scored Simba SC’s first goal in a friendly match against Kahraba Ismailia on Monday, August 11, at the stadium of the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) in Ismailia, Egypt.

Jonathan Sowah later found the back of the net for a second time, sealing the victory and ensuring the match ended with a 2-0 scoreline in favour of Simba SC.

Mohammed Bajaber opened up about his say at Simba SC so far, expressing his hunger to win every match for the club.

The Harambee Stars forward insisted that Simba SC is a big club that deserves to win every title. He remains unafraid of the fan pressure, noting that it is normal since Simba SC is a well-known club.

“Like Simba SC players, we have to bring the club back to glory; it’s a big team and deserves to win the league every season,” Mohammed Bajaber said in an interview shared by Simba SC on Instagram.

“Simba SC has to win every major league…I’m aware of the pressure coming from fans, but that is normal because this is a big club. We are preparing for it, and hopefully, we shall win this season.”

Simba SC finished second in the 2024/25 Tanzania Premier League season with 78 points, after securing 25 wins, three draws and two losses throughout the season.

Yanga SC won the title, having accumulated 82 points from 27 wins, one draw and two losses. However, with the coming of Mohammed Bajaber, the script is about to change as he eyes more success with one of Tanzania’s biggest clubs.
