SIMBA FC player Willy Kavuma is set to leave for trials with first division club Mujjes in Oman. As the club prepares to sack ten players and recruit a goalkeeper, head coach Sam Ssimbwa said yesterday that Kavuma and Isaac Isinde are due to leave for Oman tomorrow.

“My deputy (Fred Kajoba) is taking them. It is good as we re-organise the team,” Ssimbwa said yesterday without giving further information.

But Kajoba said that he has dropped Isinde from the trials programme after the player opted to train with the national team instead of travelling to Oman.

Isinde was among five Cranes players dropped from the CECAFA squad on Wednesday and had wanted to join Kavuma and two Gambian strikers Shalif Modu and Diara Landing.

“I talked to him and he refused to travel with me in preference for
Cranes’s CECAFA programme,” Kajoba explained.

At the same time, Ssimbwa, a deputy to Cranes’ tactician Robert ‘Bobby’ Williamson, is interested in signing URA FC goalkeeper Abbey Dhaira. Ssimbwa also wants to recruit one of the three Police FC custodians.

Ssimbwa said that there was an attractive deal for whoever will decide to join the Bombo-based army side.
