FOOTBALL Joash Onyango jersey number at Singida Fountain Gate revealed
The Harambee Stars defender skillfully wore the number 16 jersey at Simba SC for three fruitful seasons.
The club have found themselves embroiled in legal battles with former players over breach of contract in the past and Kalekwa is keen to avoid this.
“If you look, we have made two different changes. The lengths of the player contracts we have issued depend on how they serve us. No one wants to have a player who is not giving good service,” Kalekwa said.
“We have come up with a strategy. If for example you want to go to another team or you are not giving us what we want, we give you room to arrange your exit early. For example, we give you a notice of two months while we continue playing you as you go and look for another challenge.”
