The Harambee Stars defender skillfully wore the number 16 jersey at Simba SC for three fruitful seasons.

Kenya international defender Joash Onyango will wear jersey number 6 at Tanzania Premier League side Singida Fountain Gate FC.

Singida supporters were excited about Onyango's arrival from Simba Sports Club, with many wondering what shirt number the 30-year-old would be given.

The defender, fresh from a successful stint at Simba, was officially unveiled during a captivating exhibition match against AS Vita.

The new chapter in Onyango's career promises to be one of excitement and aspiration, as he takes on the iconic number that carries with it a legacy of exceptional talent.

Notably, the number 6 jersey at Singida Fountain Gate was previously worn by Ugandan international Shafiq Batambuze.

Before his time at Simba, Onyango plied his trade at Gor Mahia, where he sported the number 12 jersey with pride and distinction.

His journey from number 12 to 16 and now to the revered number 6 signifies not just a progression in his career, but also a symbol of the growth and evolution of his skills as a defender.

At Singida, Onyango reunites with former teammates from Simba namely Mohamed Quattara, Victor Akpan, Augustin Okrah, Nelson Okwa, Gadiel Michael, Erasto Nyoni. 

But it is not just the defensive partnership that will spark interest as Singida has also welcomed the talented Harambee Stars midfielder, Duke Abuya, into their ranks. 

Abuya, an essential asset to the Kenyan national team, has been handed jersey number 30 at the club. 

The midfield maestro's addition to the squad brings a wealth of experience and creativity, adding depth and dynamism to the team's midfield department.

Singida is gearing up to face JKU of Zanzibar in the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round.

The team's supporters are optimistic about their chances, especially with the indomitable Onyango providing a solid foundation in defense.
