The 23-year-old former Vipers SC player was a free agent after leaving the Venoms at the end of the 2017-18 league season.

Guikan, despite netting 13 times in his maiden season, did not impress coach Dylan Kerr, who reportedly made it known to the management that the player is not in his plans for next season.
He is therefore expected to give his foreigner’s slot to Erisa.
Erisa is expected in the country after Gor Mahia’s trip to Liverpool for their international friendly against Everton next week.
