“The deal is done but we are only waiting on Tusker to officially release him so he can enjoy his new venture in South Africa,” the source, granted anonymity to protect relationships, told Pulse Sports.

The regulation states, “A club intending to conclude a contract with a professional must inform the player’s current club in writing before entering into negotiations with him."
“A professional shall only be free to conclude a contract with another club if his contract with his present club has expired or is due to expire within six months. Any breach of this provision shall be subject to appropriate sanctions.”
With his contract expiring, Bwire is now within his rights to conclude a deal with Polokwane. Known for his ball-playing capabilities, it will go in line with the club vision of instigating moves from behind.

Kapen, Akena and Bendeka included as Gor Mahia name 25-man squad for CECAFA Kagame Cup escapade
Gor Mahia have named a squad of 25 players who will be taking part in the CECAFA Kagame Cup tournament next week.
The 24-year-old, an alumnus of Kakamega High School, began his career with Kariobangi Sharks in 2017.
After four seasons with Sharks, he joined Tusker FC in 2021 as the club was gearing up for their CAF Champions League campaign. Initially an understudy to Patrick Matasi, Bwire became the first-choice keeper after Matasi's departure to Kenya Police last year. He was also named among the club’s assistant captains.
Bwire struggled for form for part of last season, losing his place to Brian Opondo at some point, but won it back before the end of the season.
He managed to keep the second most clean sheets in the FKFPL last season. Bwire is represented by Liken Sports Management, the agency that also represents Kenyan internationals Matasi, Abdallah Hassan, and David Ochieng.
