DONE DEAL: Tranmere secure ex-Burnley forward Mumbongo

Tranmere Rovers have signed former Burnley striker Joel Mumbongo on a one-year deal.

The 23-year-old was released by the Clarets at the end of last season.

He spent time on loan in League One with Accrington in 2021-22.

Manager Micky Mellon said: "We're really pleased to add Joel into the group. We've said that we would like to add not just more bodies but more quality and feel like Joel adds that.

"He's been with us for a couple of weeks now so we can see his qualities and what he can bring which is different to what we already have because that's important.

"We're really looking forward to working with Joel this season, helping him to continue developing and moving us forward."
