Belgium and Sierra Leone centre-forward Ibrahim Kargbo Jr. has joined Italian club Cavese from Kosovo side Prishtina e Re on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old has signed a contract with Cavese running until 30 June 2027. He joins a club competing in Serie C – C after ending his spell with Prishtina e Re, where he arrived from Belarusian club BATE Borisov in February 2026.
Kargbo was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and stands 1.90m tall. He is predominantly right-footed and has played as a central striker throughout his senior career.
The move to Cavese is the latest in a sequence of free transfers for Kargbo, who has changed clubs regularly since leaving Belgian side KSV Roeselare for Dynamo Kyiv in January 2020. He subsequently spent time on loan at Ukrainian club Olimpik Donetsk and Slovenian side NK Celje, before joining Cypriot club Doxa Katokopia on another temporary deal.
After returning to Dynamo Kyiv, Kargbo moved permanently to NK Celje in January 2023. His later career took him to Croatia’s NK Solin, Belarusian club Dnepr Mogilev, Serbia’s Jedinstvo Ub and BATE Borisov before his short stay at Prishtina e Re.
He has recorded six goals and one assist in 16 appearances in Kosovo’s top flight, while also scoring three times in 20 Premier Liga matches and once in the Belarusian Cup. His broader record includes goals in Belgium’s 1ste Nationale and Serbia’s Prva NL.
Kargbo has also collected domestic honours during his career. He was part of the BATE Borisov squad that won the Belarusian Cup in the 2025-26 season and previously won the Ukrainian Cup with Dynamo Kyiv in 2019-20.
Cavese have now secured the centre-forward’s services without a transfer fee, with Kargbo’s new deal in Italy lasting until the end of June 2027.
