Yanga SC winger Célestin Ecua has completed a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Shoulla FC, who compete in the country’s second tier, following the end of his spell with Algerian side JS Kabylie.
Ecua joined JS Kabylie on loan from Yanga on January 28, 2026, in a deal that included an option for a permanent transfer. However, the proposed move was not completed, and the player left the Algerian club after his loan spell ended. Statistical records indicate that the loan officially expired on June 30, 2026.
The winger joined Yanga in August 2025 from Ivorian club Zoman FC after impressing in the Ivory Coast Premier League. Due to competition for places within the Yanga squad, he was sent out on loan to JS Kabylie during the January 2026 transfer window.
Before moving to Tanzania, Ecua had been named the Ivory Coast Premier League Player of the Season for 2024/25, an achievement that attracted interest from several clubs before he eventually signed for Yanga.
