Isle of Hope Sports Academy (ISOHSA) of Limbe have completed the signing of midfielder Wirikom Michael Chiffu from Southwest Regional League side Nkamanyi FI, for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old, who played all-but two matches for the Kumba club last season in the South West Regional League and Cup of Cameroon, has signed a two-year deal thus bringing an end to an over two months chase.

The MTN Elite 2 newbies made contact with Nkamanyi FI officials just over a week ago but quickly found a common ground to ensure the player moves to Limbe despite interest from other clubs.
Wirikom scored 11 goals for Nkamanyi FI last season while operating from the offensive midfield role.
The set-piece genius who hails from the popular Wirikom footballers family in the Southwest will bring Elite 2 experience to his new club, having spent the 2020/21 season on the books of MTN Elite 2 side Foncha Street FC of Bamenda.
“I can’t wait to meet all my new team-mates and build a chemistry together to achieve great things together,” Wirikom told kick442.com upon completion of the switch.
Club CEO Karl Mokake said: “We are very pleased to welcome Wirikom to ISOHSA.
“He demonstrated his quality in the League last season at Nkamanyi, showing a variety of qualities we want in our group, and is a player we have monitored for some time. He had a great game against us. He brings a set-piece ability and a style that adapts with the quality of players we have and how we want to play.”
kick442.com News Agency understands a number of negotiations are ongoing to add fresh quality to the already-exciting collection of players before the start of the season.
Wirikom is the second new signing after forward Akono Mvondo David who joined from AS Futuro of Mfou.
Over 15 of the players who masterminded the club’s promotion to Elite 2 last season have penned new deals.
The Limbe-based club will start pre-season training next month on a date to be announced.
