Nigerian striker Ndubuisi Godwin has become Ismaili’s third signing upfront after completing a move on Friday, the Egyptian Premier League club said.
The 26-year-old joined Ismaili after ending a short spell with Libyan side Nasr.
He began his career with Nigerian club Julius Berger but made his name with Sudanese giants Hilal, whom he joined in 2006.
He played a key role in helping Hilal reach the 2007 African Champions League semi final and was part of their Sudan Premier League winning squads in 2007 and 2009.
Ismaili have also signed Moroccan forward Abdessalam Benjelloun and free agent Mostafa Gaafar to strengthen an unproductive frontline which cost the team dearly last season.
The Dervishes’ new coach Mark Wotte demanded the immediate signing of new strikers after his team slumped to a surprise 1-0 defeat by Algeria’s JS Kabylie in their Champions League group stage opener earlier this week.
