Festus Chuma 19:02 - 10.06.2023

Last month there were rumours that Onyango had attracted the eye of another Tanzania top-flight side Singida Big Stars.

Tanzania Premier League giants Simba SC has announced the May Player of the Month nominees.

Central defender Henock Inonga, attacking midfielder Saidi Ntibazonkiza and defender Shomari Kapombe will battle it for the top award.

There is no place for Kenyan defender Joash Onyango who has been a peripheral player at Simba in the four matches played in May.

According to the club, the trio have undoubtedly made significant contributions to the team's recent performances, leading to their recognition by the club.

However, despite his previous successes and reputation as a talented defender, Onyango appears to have struggled to make an impact on the pitch, which ultimately led to his exclusion from the Player of the Month shortlist.

Simba has been known for its depth and competitiveness, often featuring a roster of exceptional players. 

With fierce competition for starting positions, each Player must consistently deliver imperious performances to maintain their spot in the team. 

Onyango's absence from the nominations suggests that he may need to step up his game and regain the trust and confidence of the coaching staff.

In the four matches played in May, the talented Kenyan defender showed his capabilities as he possesses the potential to reclaim his position as an influential figure within the squad.

Voting for the Simba Player of the Month is open and will close on Monday, June 12, when the winner will be announced. 

The winner will pocket Tsh 2,000,000 (Ksh 116,000)  from the sponsors' Emirate Aluminium Profile.

It is worth noting that Simba did not have a good season as they finished second behind Yanga and were also eliminated from the Azam Sports Federation Cup.
