Ports Authority Football Club is thrilled to announce the signing of striker Donald Wellington, popularly known as Cobor Cobor, who makes a highly anticipated return to his former club. The experienced forward, renowned for his strength, agility, and attacking prowess, is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the team’s offensive line as they look to improve their form in the current season.
Cobor Cobor, who has been a key figure in the Sierra Leone Premier League for several years, is familiar with the challenges facing Ports Authority. His return comes at a crucial time for the team, which has been struggling to find form in the league. With just four wins from 15 matches, the team finds itself in the precarious position of 17th place, just one point above the relegation zone. The pressure is mounting, and Cobor Cobor’s arrival is seen as an important step in the club’s efforts to avoid relegation and climb up the table.
“We are excited to welcome Donald Wellington back to the club,” said a representative from Ports Authority FC. “Cobor Cobor is a player who knows what it means to wear this jersey, and his experience and determination will be invaluable as we push forward. We are confident that his skills will help us turn things around in the second half of the season.”
Donald Wellington’s first match with Ports Authority will come this Saturday, 5th April 2025, when the team faces off against Mighty Blackpool, the club he previously represented. The match promises to be an emotional one for Cobor Cobor, who has fond memories of his time at Mighty Blackpool but is now fully focused on helping his new team secure vital points in their battle to avoid the drop.
The arrival of Cobor Cobor is expected to provide a significant boost to the team’s attacking options. The forward’s physicality and sharp instincts in front of goal will be crucial in helping the team break down opposition defenses and improve their goal-scoring record. With Ports Authority struggling to find the back of the net, Cobor Cobor’s goal-scoring ability could be exactly what they need to turn their fortunes around.
This season has been one of the most challenging in recent memory for Ports Authority. The club’s form has been inconsistent, with just four wins, one draw, and 10 losses. As a result, they have earned only 12 points and are currently sitting in 17th place, just one point ahead of Freetown City FC, who occupy the 18th and final relegation spot.
Given the club’s poor run of form, Cobor Cobor’s leadership and experience are seen as vital in helping the team escape relegation and maintain their place in the top flight of Sierra Leonean football.
The signing of Cobor Cobor also comes as part of a broader strategy to revamp the squad and bring in players with the experience and mentality required to handle the pressure of the relegation battle. The club’s management is hopeful that his presence will inspire the team and rally the players to fight for every point in the remaining matches of the season.
As the league heads into the final stretch, every match will be crucial for Ports Authority. The club’s supporters are eagerly anticipating Cobor Cobor’s return to the field, hoping that he can bring the spark needed to propel the team to safety. With a packed fixture list ahead, the pressure is on, but with Cobor Cobor back in the fold, there is renewed hope that the club can achieve a strong finish to the season.
In what promises to be an exciting encounter this Saturday, all eyes will be on Donald Wellington as he steps back onto the pitch with Ports Authority, ready to make his mark and help the team climb out of the relegation zone.
