AFC Leopards players have agreed to return to training following a financial dispute that had seen them down their tools.
Leopards players boycotted training this week over delayed payment for their winning bonuses amounting to Ksh20,000 after posting victories in four previous matches before last weekend’s goalless draw with Kakamega Homeboyz.
Tomas Trucha’s men are entitled Ksh5,000 for every win and following the delay, the players sought audience with the club’s management but there were no immediate assurances, leading to the boycott.

Babu took over as Police head coach following a tumultuous first half of the season, but has lost none of the games he has been in charge, who now find themselves in fourth place.
Ingwe are now looking up rather than down as they sit eighth on the table and will be keen to maintain the good run.
However, this appears to be a temporary truce as the situation will likely repeat itself if the balance is not settled on time.
This is not the first time Leopards players have downed tools over a financial dispute as the same was witnessed last season when they also boycotted training over delayed salaries in June.
