Josh Koroma opens season’s account in win over Rotherham

Sierra Leone native Josh Koroma was on target as Huddersfield Town defeated Rotherham United 2-0 at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Josh Koroma, who was making his sixth appearance, recorded his first of the new campaign in the 18th minute before Sorba Thomas scored the second as Huddersfield made it back-to-back Sky Bet Championship victories with a 2-0 Yorkshire derby win over Rotherham.

Thomas made the first goal for Koroma before capping an inspirational display with a goal of his own to put the game to bed 20 minutes from the end.

The Millers are still searching for a first away win this season as Neil Warnock got the better of his former employers at John Smith’s Stadium.

On Saturday, Sierra Leone International Alex Bnagura made his Middlesbrough debut in their 2-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Edwood Park.

Defender Alex Bangura in line for Middlesbrough Debut

Middlesbrough travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday following the International break, and new acquisition Alex Bangura could make his debut for the English Championship side.

Michael Carrick’s side will be looking for a quick response following the defeat to Queens Park Rangers. Bangura was introduced in their 2-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers before the International break on September 2nd. 

The Sierra Leone International joined the club on a four-year deal on 1st September as he became the club’s 12th signing of the summer. Bangura, who started his career in the Netherlands with DRL before joining Feyenoord at the youth level, wanted to get started.

“I cant wait to play in front of the Boro fans. It feels very good to be a Boro player like everyone was welcoming,” Bangura told the club’s website. “After a couple of charts with the club, i knew that I wanted to come here. I heard a lot about the club’s ambition and it has been a dream move for me to play in Egngland.”

Boro head coach Michael Carrick was delighted to welcome Alex to the club. “Alex is a really exciting signing,” he said. “He’s a left-back, and he’s captained his team. He’s a good character with a great personality and he won’t have any problem fitting into the group.”

He played for the Dutch club from U18 to U21 level before joining SC Cambuur permanently. He played a pivotal role in Cambuur’s promotion winner and has spent the last two seasons playing regularly in the Dutch top flight.

He has played the majority of his football at left-back but has also played on the wing. Alex is a five-time capped international for Sierra Leone.

Abu Kamara was pleased after Portsmouth’s debut

Abu Kamara, 19, was one of the four debutants for Portsmouth Football Club in their 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers in the English League One opener on Saturday. 

The on-loan Norwich youngster was a threat in the last 25 minutes when he was subbed on in the 65th minute.

Kamara, on his official Instagram page, to express himself. 

“Happy to make my Pompey debut! Thanks to the fans for a warm welcome, Onto the next.” 

The attacker, who signed on a season-long loan deal from Norwich, was named in John Mousinho’s first-team squad but started on the bench.

Kusini Yengi subbed on to score a dramatic last-gasp equaliser for Pompey against Bristol Rovers.

Luke Thomas netted midway through the first half for the Gas, and that looked to be enough to earn them a first win at Fratton Park since 1975.

A vital goal from debutant Yengi after he converted a Joe Rafferty cross at the death to ensure the Blues earned an opening day point.
