Sunderland AFC confirms that Benji Kimpioka has joined AIK Fotboll.
The 22-year-old has moved the Allsvenskan side on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee, ending a six-year spell at the Stadium of Light.
Kimpioka moved to Wearside in July 2016 and made 16 first-team appearances in all competitions, scoring on four occasions.
The forward featured more than 50 times for SAFC’s Under-23 outfit, whilst also spending time on loan with Torquay United and Southend United in 2021.
Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “Benji has been unable to make an impact at first-team level due to incredibly strong competition for places and understandably he has a desire to play regular senior football, so this represents a good opportunity for him. He’s a likeable young player who will be missed by his team-mates and club staff, but we wish him the very best in the next chapter of his career."
All at SAFC wish Benji the best of luck for the future.
