Former Kaizer Chiefs forward, Bonfils Caleb Bimenyimana, has joined Iranian top-flight side Zob Ahan.
Following a short-lived contract with Libya’s Al Ahli Benghazi, the towering Burundian striker is set to revive his career in the Persian Gulf Pro League.

He scored eight goals in just 21 appearances for the Glamour Boys, and will now look to get his career back on track.

“I can’t tell you which club in Europe wants him because it’s still too early to say but it’s not only in Africa where he’s in demand. At the end of the day, Polokwane City will have the final say because he has a contract with them.”
Was Bimenyimana given a fair chance at Chiefs?
