Indian Super League outfit Punjab FC has parted ways with striker Mushaga Bakenga by mutual consent on Thursday.
The decision comes as the league moves toward the middle part of the season with most of the teams playing 11 games or more.
The Norwegian was signed by The Shers at the start of the season and made 14 appearances for the club across the Indian Super League and the Durand Cup. He scored three goals and provided one assist during his time with the club.
Speaking on the development, Technical Director of Punjab FC, Nikolaos Topoliatis said, “After mutual discussions, it was decided that Bakenga would part ways with us. I truly appreciate his contributions during his time here and wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.”
Bakenga’s last appearance for Punjab FC was as a substitute in the Indian Super League against East Bengal FC.
Bakenga has an extensive CV and has played with the likes of Norwegian star Erling Haaland during the start of their career.
Punjab FC sits in fifth place in the ISL table with six wins in the eleven games and 18 points. They will look to come back after losing the last game against East Bengal FC 2-4.
