Bandari FC midfielder Dennis Magige has signed a permanent contract with Ulinzi Stars after impressing on loan.

Dennis Magige has signed a permanent contract with Ulinzi Stars, cementing his future with the club after a remarkable loan spell from Bandari FC.

The 27-year-old midfielder initially joined Ulinzi Stars on a six-month loan deal in August, but his outstanding performances have earned him a long-term commitment from the club.

Magige's reunion with his former coach at Bandari Antony 'Modo' Kimani has undoubtedly contributed to his success.

For the midfielder, this long-term deal with the Soldiers marks a significant turning point in his life.

Hailing from Mombasa, the talented footballer faced adversity when he had to drop out of school due to a lack of fees and resorted to doing menial jobs to survive and support his struggling parents.

Despite the challenges, Magige showcased his skills in various school tournaments while at Maji Safi in Likoni.

In a recent interview, Magige revealed that he had caught the eye of a coach who offered him an opportunity to join an estate team called Koshen Stars, which had been initiated by elders in the area.

However, financial difficulties led to the team's collapse, leaving Magige without a path in football once again.
