'Reviersport' reported that Rot-Weiss Essen, a third division club facing relegation, is considering Tarsis Bonga, a 27-year-old player from the regional league team Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, as they search for a new striker. The contract of the 1.97-meter tall center forward with the 'Kleeblätter' is set to expire at the end of the year, which would make the brother of basketball world champion Isaac Bonga available for a free transfer. Since joining RWO in October, Bonga has scored six goals in nine games.
