ATHLETICS Wycliffe Kinyamal reveals reason behind his poor form this season
Kinyamal has failed to impress in most of his races and he has finally shared what was troubling him.
The experienced custodian emphasized Rupia's exceptional goal-scoring abilities, emphasizing that teams competing against Singida must exercise caution when dealing with the formidable striker.
"I know Elvis (Rupia) is a complete striker; the defenders should be very careful because he knows his goal well. He will undoubtedly be an asset to Singida," said Shikalo, who also had stints with KMC in the past.
"It's lucky for Singida to have secured his signature. Although he could have played for big teams like Simba, Yanga, or even Azam, starting at Singida is not a bad decision. It has reduced the pressure on him," he added as per Mwanaspoti.
