Was a Caley Thistle a couple of years ago, and has spent time in the lowland leagues.
Interesting signing.

Musa Dibaga Nimaga (born 27 April 2000) is a Gambian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for NIFL Premiership side Crusaders.[1][2]
Career
Dibaga started his career playing at Murieston Amateurs (second choice) before moving on to Robres of the Spanish Tercera Federación, being promoted to the first team and making 20 appearances over the 2020–21 season. In July 2021, Dibaga moved to Scotland and joined East of Scotland Premier Division side, Whitehill Welfare for a season before leaving them following their relegation to the First Division. In July 2022, Dibaga joined Lowland League side, Bo`ness United on a two-year deal. In his first season, Dibaga picked up a Lowland League Cup runners up medal, as Bo`ness held East Kilbride to a 2–2 draw before losing on penalties.[3]
In August 2024, Dibaga got his first move into professional football, joining recently relegated Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Scottish League One,[4] before making his professional debut a fortnight later in a 1–1 home draw against Montrose.[5] After being a big part in keeping the Caley Jags in League One amidst the club suffering through administration, Dibaga departed Inverness in 2025 "with a heavy heart" after not being able to agree on terms for a new contract due to the club`s situation.[6]

Seen him play for both Bo`ness and Inverness and he`s really just been improving year after year. Not sure how he got on at Crusaders but he had Scottish Premiership interest and from down south as well. Hopefully works out well for us

His record at ICT seemed quite decent. They did ok that year (on the pitch) which was when Arbroath came up.

He was born in Spain which probably explains why he played for Robres. 6` 4``.
Now announced on COWS.

Spooky old thing, I watched him a good number of times when he was at Bo’ness, as people who Coached my son played for them at the time and Musa was in goals.
Must admit, he was pretty solid for the Lowland League, but he did have his shakey moments but you could see he was destined for a league side. Livi scouts were watching him, but obviously he went to ICT instead.
The way things have worked out for him, I never thought I would see him at East End but fingers crossed he does well, definitely an interesting signing.

Professional football people spend a lot of their time deciding whether a player is capable of playing at a higher `level` and to a great extent their jobs depend on it. That`s the difference between us and them.

Sounds like a solid signing but hopefully we can add another keeper as Billy T picks up a lot of injuries for a keeper...

My money is on first choice, but I will admit to struggling with breaking up with our Ox if that`s the case.

Looks handy to me. He`s the type of keeper NL likes and he has done his time in the Scottish game so knows what its about. It looks like a good signing to me.

I`m of the opinion that a goalkeeper is the only position where a low league doesn`t matter that match. A good save is a good save no matter what level. It`s different from an outfield player making the step up. The only real difference is handing the pressure of a higher level/bigger club.
I can`t see him costing much so he may well be being brought in to fight for first place with another goalie still to come.

Well technically it doesn’t really matter if it’s two players or five players.
We will still have a game called off

Surely having any player who is good enough to get called up to play international football for their country is a good thing. For one thing it’s a great advert for DAFC and we getting a player who is highly regarded as be one of the best players in their home country that can cover that position. When we had call ups last season we weren’t forced to play a weakened team. Games were rearranged were they not?

The problem was the rearranged fixtures combined with our Cup run caused congestion which meant we weren`t always able to field our strongest team. It might have affected our qualification for the play-offs.

It`s always good (and a novelty) to have international players, you just hope they don`t have too far to travel.
I`m pretty certain there`s no AFCON this year? I think that was the real killer with Amade.
Not sure if he will get called up, it`s good to get a keeper in!

The club were on record as saying they had to go to an SFA exceptions panel to secure a work permit/visa for Alfons Amade.
If that indicates the sort of threshold it would seem unlikely you’ll secure foreign talent unless they have been involved in some form of international set-up.

most of the foreign signings go through the SFA panel as they dont automatically qualify for a work permit but they are not international players or near that level, StJohnstone just signed a Spaniard from the 4th tier over there as an example. pay the costs for the appeal etc and the player gets in basically.
