Winston Kalengo

Early career

Kalengo was born on 29 August 1985 in Livingstone, the tourist capital of Zambia, in southern Africa.

Zanaco FC

In 2003 a young striker scored twice for Zanaco as they over came Roan United 2–1 in a Week 13 match first goals for Zanaco in a Week 13 match. That young striker was Winstone Kalengo, and the brace goal were his first goal in the ZSL. Winston went on to score 9 goals in the 2003 season as a young striker with competition from the big name Zanaco strikers of Rotson Kilambe, Edward Kangwa and Cosmas Banda. In 2004 with increased competition he only scored 4 goals for Zanaco. He surprisingly he did not get much of a run in 2005 and didn't score a goal though he still ended up a champion as Zanaco ran out winners of the Primera Division de Zambia. Winstone Kalengo's break out year was in 2006 when he scored 28 goals in all competitions with 16 league goals to become the Primera Division de Zambia top scorer and take Zanaco to another title and also his second straight title. After that feat Kalengo did not have it that easy as he averaged 5 goals a season between 2007 and 2010. Kalengo still managed to win one more title with Zanaco in 2009.

Zesco United FC

In 2011 Kalengo joined fierce rivals Zesco United, by this time he had scored 52 goals in 7 seasons with Zanaco. Kalengo hit the ground running at Zesco United scoring on debut in Week 1 in a 2–0 win over Kabwe Warriors. Kalengo went to finish the season on 8 goals though…

Kalengo is particularly noted for his strength, acceleration, and ability to retain possession of the ball. Being effective both with the ball at his feet and in the air, allows him to be a prolific goalscorer. He has been known to strike the ball with force, being clinically effective in one on one situations with goalkeepers. Specializing in central positions, Kalengo's style revolves around beating the goalkeeper with speed and depth. However, he occasionally drifts to the wings, leaving his team with no options in the middle, and, at times, lacks the ability to track back.
