After Several Months In The Cold, Mcdonald Mariga Gets New Club (Photo)

At one point long before Wanyama was the hottest prospective midfielder, his elder brother Mcdonald Mariga was the name on everyone’s lips.

He was the high profile Kenyan player and remains the only one to play in a Champion’s league final and win a medal. Indeed his medal haul is quite exemplary and unmatched in this country courtesy of his time in Inter.

A persistent knee injury saw his career dwindle as he was limited to the bench and few appearances. When his club Parma went down and was relegated to Serie D, his career came to quite a stop and it seemed over at an age it should have picked up, 28.

The good news though is that he is finally signed to a new club, even though it is in Serie B, he will get playing time and hopefully by the end of the 6 months for which he has been signed he can make his lot and move on back to better things.

He was signed by US Latina Calcio for a period of 6 months. The club did not give any more details other than announcing the signing and length of contract on its website. It is currently 14 on the 22 team Second division of Italian league. Here is his photo at the new club as posted on the club’s website
