Zambian defender Samson Ngulube is set to complete a move to Finnish top-flight side IFK Mariehamn from Kafue Celtic.

Ngulube impressed during a trial stint at the club in November last year, and BolaNews has learnt that it prompted IFK Mariehamn to secure his services ahead of the new season, which kicks off on February 4, 2026.

IFK Mariehamn will open their 2026 campaign against TPS on Wednesday next week. They are looking to better their performance from last year, where they finished 9th in the league standings with 21 points.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old Zambia U-20 left back is expected to leave the country today ahead of his official unveiling in Finland.

Ngulube has been a key figure for Kafue Celtic in the Zambian National Division One League, where the club is currently pushing for promotion to the top flight.
