Juma’s return to the club could be a welcome addition as they are trying to beef up their squad with experienced players in order to help them in their quest to make the group stages of the Champions League for the first time in their history.
“The level of football in Europe is just on another level because the intensity is faster although we play the same way. That is the biggest difference between football in Europe and football in Africa.”
The Kenya international was keeping his options open as a free agent and was hugely expected to join Simba, having posted a photo on his Twitter handle wearing a jersey of the Tanzanian giants, which got people thinking about whether he was set to join the club.
