Komolong brothers sign for Lae

Both Alwin and Felix Komolong are coming back home to Papua New Guinea.

They have both signed for PNG powerhouse Lae City, according to the Post Courier newspaper.

Sources have told the newspaper the brothers have already started training with their new club.

But the two central defenders will not be eligible to play for Lae in the OCL group stage this year. They cannot be registered until the transfer window opens in March.

The return to PNG means older brother Alwin (24) has given up on his dream of a European contract, for now, after being released by German side Fortuna Köln after last season.

As for Felix (22), he did not finish his education at Northern Kentucky University and returned to PNG last year.
