Sierra Leone’s attacking winger Alhassan Koroma played the last 21 minutes in RB Linense 1-0 defeat to Atlético Baleares on Sunday after coming on as a 69th-minute substitute.

Koroma, 21, since injured in Sierra Leone friendly game against South Sudan, was making his first appearance for his side in Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) league. 

The winger, who sustained a muscle strain before he was replaced in the 20th-minute in Morocco last month, was pleased to be back in action for his Spanish side.

“I was pleased to be back in action but was not happy with the result on Sunday,” Koroma to FSL Sports. 

“Feeling fit and well now looking forward to our next league match against  Albacete on Saturday, hopefully. I will start. I’ve been moving around well without any pain and doing what I need to do.”

He will miss Sierra Leone friendly in Turkey due to club duty as RB Linense next league outing is against Albacete, the same the Leone Stars will take on Comoros in an International friendly.

We are therefore happy that he continues to be part of the strong offensive that we have built up,” says Randers sports and commercial director Søren Pedersen.

After signing his new deal, Kamara, 27, told Randers’ website: I have been to several places over time, but Randers is definitely the best place I have been. Randers FC is like a family to me, and from day one, I have had a great time at the club. The coaches, teammates and everyone in the club are fantastic, and it has helped make it an easy decision to extend the contract.

I feel valued here and am eager to give back to the club and the fans. We are doing really well at the moment, and I am ambitious on behalf of the team and myself. I am committed to achieving great results and would like to win another trophy with the club.”
