Barrie Limoki joins Solomon Warriors: One more youthful boost to the champions’ attack

Solomon Warriors have secured a significant addition to their striking force with the signing of Barrie Limoki for the upcoming second part of the Telekom S-League season. The youth Solomon Islands international, who has previously won the national league with Central Coast, comes as a key reinforcement for the current title holders of the top-flight league in Solomon Islands.

Limoki, 20, has an impressive football journey. Most recently, he played for Nadroga in Fiji and also had a stint with Nadi in the same country. Additionally, he played for Kossa in the Solomon Islands Telekom S-League. He was also part of the Solomon Islands squad that participated in the U17 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil in 2017, marking the only FIFA football tournament the Solomon Islands has taken part in so far.

Solomon Warriors have faced the loss of key players in attack, such as Tigi Molea, Jaygray Sipakana, and Gagame Feni. Limoki’s arrival is set to fill this gap alongside the recent signing of young rising star James Laena. Another notable addition upfront is Kennedy Watemae, former Henderson Eels player. Despite his young age, Limoki brings valuable experience and potential to the team.

Opting not to return to Fiji, Limoki has been training with Solomon Warriors for the past few weeks and is now included in the final 25-player list for the remainder of the season. His inclusion is expected to bolster the team’s offensive capabilities as they aim to defend their title.
