Kingston to resurrect his career with Russia return

Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston is set to return to the Russian top flight to play for a club in the strife-torn region of Dagestan.

The 29-year-old is club-less after being released by Scottish side Hearts at the end of last season.

Kingston is now set to return to Russian where he is wanted by Russian top division side Anzhy Makhachkala, now 11th in the league.

The club’s manager, Gadzhi Gadzhiev, said: “Yes, we are interested in signing him I believe that this midfielder is up to the level of our premier league.”

Before joining Hearts in 2007, Kingston spent several years in Russia playing for Krylia Sovetov Samara, Terek Grozny and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Gadzhiev had already had an experience working with him in Samara.

This move for Kingston couldn’t have come any time better as his career looks dead following him omission from Ghana’s final World Cup squad that made it to the quarters.
