Lomell Joins
Israeli Club
 
Controversial player James Koko Lomell has joined Israeli top flight
outfit Hapoel Petah Tikva FC. According to the player's listing on the
club's website, the name offensive midfielder cum striker is listed.
However, there is no jersey number assigned to the player as of yet.
This means Lomell has joined fellow international George Gebro at the
club. Gebro who had a trial with the club before the close of last
season, has since being assigned jersey number 17.
Lomell who recently left for Israel last played in the modest
Indonesian league with Palita Jaya.
His career has been marred by controversies, as he reportedly escaped
from South Africa to Indonesia a couple of years ago after being in
the fold of First Division side FC AK.
The player who is surprisingly 23 years old (October 16, 1985)
reportedly failed trail in Turkey before the start of last season
after a deal by the then national team German coach Antoine Hey did
not materialize due to the player's then poor form.
