Former Leeds United striker Jean-Kevin Augustin netted his first competitive goals in almost three years on Sunday. Augustin netted two for his new club Basel as they defeated Grasshoppers 5-1 in the Swiss Super League.
The 25-year-old has been looking to get his career back on track since the injury nightmare of his Leeds spell, which until now he has been unable to do. He endured an injury disrupted time at Nantes over the last two seasons, where he was able to make just 11 appearances without scoring.
Swiss side Basel, though, were prepared to take a chance on his fitness and it has taken him just 77 minutes of football to repay that faith. He wrote on his Instagram after the match that is a moment he has been longing for a ‘long time’.
