‘The Zambian winger was on loan at Forest Rangers last season where he went on to become one of the top performers in the Zambian Premier League having registered 10 goals and eight assists for the side managed by former Buccaneer Perry Mutapa.
‘In that season Muwowo finished the season as the league’s joint-top goal-scorer with his Rangers teammate Zikiru Adams and Napsa Stars striker Laudit Mavugo.’
The winger’s arrival is Pirates’ 10th signing of the window after already sealing deals for Gabadinho Mhango, Tshegofatso Mabasa, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Fortune Makaringe, Tebogo Tlolane, Kabelo Dlamini, Bongani Sam, Pule Maraisane and Joris Delle.
