A New Chapter: Morice Chukwu Moves to Lebanon's Jwaya SC
Former Singida Black Stars midfielder Morice Chukwu is embarking on an exciting new adventure, joining Jwaya SC in Lebanon. This move brings not only a change of scenery but also a significant financial opportunity for the talented player.
There's big news from the football world! Morice Chukwu, a familiar face from his time with Singida Black Stars, has made a big move. He's officially signed with Jwaya SC, a club in the top league of Lebanon. This two-year contract is quite a step up for the midfielder, and it seems to come with some impressive financial details.
Many fans might remember Chukwu being linked with Yanga, the reigning champions of the Tanzanian Premier League. However, he ultimately chose a different path, heading to Lebanon. Sources close to the player suggest he received a substantial signing bonus, reportedly 1.8 billion Tanzanian Shillings, especially significant as he joined as a free agent.
A Lucrative New Start
It gets even more interesting when you look at his new earnings. Chukwu is expected to earn a monthly salary of 90 million Shillings. If you do the math, that's about 1.08 billion Shillings in just one year, and over the full two-year contract, it adds up to a staggering 2.16 billion Shillings! It's clear that Jwaya SC presented an offer that was too good to pass up, making Lebanon an appealing choice over other options.
His decision came after his contract with Singida Black Stars concluded, giving him the freedom to explore new opportunities. Chukwu had a strong season, playing 17 league matches and five in the CAF Confederation Cup during the 2025-2026 season. This 24-year-old defensive midfielder, known for his right-footed play, officially completed his transfer on August 15, 2026.
A Journey of Success and Experience
Morice Chukwu brings a wealth of experience to his new team. He's played 147 matches in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL), scoring six goals and assisting six others. On the African club stage, he boasts 22 appearances in the CAF Confederation Cup and six in the CAF Champions League, even netting a goal in the Confederation Cup and assisting one in the Champions League. He also has five appearances and one goal in the NPFL playoffs.
Chukwu's trophy cabinet already holds two Nigerian Premier League titles – one with Akwa United in 2020-2021 and another with Rivers United in 2021-2022. His career path has seen him move from Go Round FC to Akwa United, then Rivers United, Fountain Gate, and Ihefu SC (now Singida Black Stars), with a loan spell at TRA United. His move to Jwaya marks another exciting chapter, adding to his rich footballing journey and bringing his valuable skills to the Lebanese Premier League.
