‘I still owe the club a great deal’

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Joshua told Tusker official website: “When I left, I felt I still owed the club a great deal.

“I was coming off a difficult injury period, and the club stood by me and supported me fully. Now that I’m back, my ambition is to repay the faith they showed in me. I have unfinished business here and I’m ready to work hard to see it through. Above all, my goal is to help take the club back to the top.”

Joshua added: “I am really happy to be back at a place I call home. Even though there are many new faces, I have felt welcome from the first day of training. The few teammates I worked with previously have also made the transition much easier for me.”

Tusker coach Charles Okere, said: “We are getting into the business end of the season and the matches will only get tougher.

“We need depth in every department, and Ibrahim’s return is a big boost for us. He understands the club’s culture, knows what it means to wear this badge, and brings a different dimension to our attack. That variation will be very important for us.”

Joshua previously featured for Tusker over two seasons, leaving a strong impression in his debut campaign where he emerged as a key attacking outlet, finishing with 12 goals.

His second season, however, proved challenging, as a knee injury sidelined him for a significant period.
