Harambee Stars striker Jesse Were's motivational message to aspiring young players
Were, an icon in Zambian football, has sent a motivational message to upcoming youngsters
“We tabled improved offers to some of the players that have left the team unfortunately that could not persuade them to stay. We have already started scouting for replacements in these departments. The club will soon be making announcements of the new signings in the coming days.”
It brings to an end yet another chapter for Were and Zesco after a hugely successful first stint at the club.
The Kenyan striker joined Zesco in 2016 having been the top scorer in the Kenyan Premier League, after bagging 22 goals for Tusker FC, and went on to enjoy cult status as he became the first player to score over 100 goals for the Zambian giants.

John Makwata close to uniting with Kenyan coach at Tanzanian club
Kenyan striker John Makwata has been lured to Tanzania after an impressive second half in the FKF Premier League with Kariobangi Sharks.
He won four league titles as well as two ABSA Cup Championships before departing for rivals Kansanshi Dynamos in January 2022.
He was, however, back at Zesco again at the start of 2024 to continue his love affair with the club but he will now have to find a new home.
Were made his name in Zambia and it will not be a surprise if another team in the country snaps him up but he will not be short of suitors from the continent if he opts to try out a new league.
