Victor Wanyama: Dunfermline Athletic Make Major Update Over Kenyan Midfielder’s Future
Victor Wanyama’s future at Dunfermline Athletic has become clearer after the Scottish second division club made an update over their plans for him.
Simbine is the senior most member of South Africa's 4x100m relay team but is relishing his role as the older statesman. "I think it helps because I come with the experience of being in the circuit. If I say 'Guys, just calm down', the guys would take my word for it. They respect what I say and look up to what I say. So I think it does have benefit."
World Championships the ultimate goal

Simbine will look to write more history in the World Championships later this year and will look to capitalise on his form to silence a stacked field that will have the likes of Olympic champion Noah Lyles and silver medallist Kishane Thompson.
Simbine will turn 32 on the final day of competition in Japan, but expects to continue lacing up his spikes for years to come.
