FOOTBALL Tusker release Tanzanian defender as clear out begins ahead of new arrivals
The Brewers have opted against extending the stay of the center-back who had fallen out of favour in Robert Matano's side.
"From around the last week of July to the second week of August is always exam week at Strathmore. His faculty is one of the departments that have exams now and luckily his timetable is flexible.
However, unfortunately, for the Hong Kong game, he had an exam from 9:00 a.m. and he had sought permission from the technical team and they granted him permission. He was named as a starter but he still went to do his exams.
He is a hardworking young man...I've seen him grow and he is definitely going places. He loves the sport and trains a lot...he is also very keen to detail. It's something good for him," Kisia said.
