Forgotten £28million Man City striker makes scoring return at League Two strugglers

Former Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony made a scoring return to English football as he notched the winner for Newport County in a friendly against Swindon Town on Tuesday night.

Bony is best known for his spell playing for Swansea between 2013 and 2015, when he impressed with 26 goals and six assists in 54 Premier League games. That strike-rate earned him a £28million transfer to Man City, but things didn't work out for the Ivory Coast international.

His star has faded since leaving City in 2017, with a second spell with Swansea followed by brief stints in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Bony signed for Dutch side NEC Nijmegen in January, but a hamstring injury meant he made just one 15-minute substitute appearance.
