Leone Stars Captain, Steven Caulker Vows to Repay Coach Kolo Toure
Morlai Ibrahim Kamara Leone Stars Captain, Steven Caulker has showcased his determination to repay Wigan Athletic manager, Kolo Touré, for the faith he showed in him after he joined the Latic as the club’s first signing of the January Transfer Window. Caulker, 31, joined Wigan Athletic following a four-year spell in Turkey, putting pen to paper on an initial deal that runs until the end of the 2022/23 Championship.
The 31-year-old was with Fatih Karagumruk, playing seven games this term, before ending his four-and-a-half seasons in Turkey earlier this month.
Caulker, whose former clubs include Tottenham, Swansea and Liverpool, also had spells Alanyspor, Fenerbahce and Gaziantep during his time there.
He is currently Sierra Leone captain, and also has England senior honours.
He won a cap under Roy Hodgson in 2012, scoring in a 4-2 defeat by Sweden, but switched his international allegiance two years ago.
“Five years 106 days after my last game in the Championship, I am back,” he wrote on social media.
“I’ve spent days, weeks, months, and years dreaming that one day I will return.
“I know it’s going to be a huge challenge given our current league position, but it’s a challenge that I am looking forward to.”
