Bandari to rope in Ugandan marksman

FKF Premier League Coastal side Bandari FC are finalizing a deal to sign Ugandan striker Derrick Nsibambi.

The club’s vice-chairman Twaha Mbarak said the Dockers have gone all out to secure the services of the Ugandan international who will be their last recruit in this transfer window after roping in eleven new signings.

“We are looking for one player who we are in discussing with him after signing eleven others,” said Twaha.

The Uganda Cranes marksman who has been training with Bandari for the last few days is expected to join the Kenya Premier League side on a six-month contract from Oman Premier League side, Al Basheer Club.

Upon completion of the move, Nsibambi will jostle for the starting slot with his compatriot Umaru Kasumba and last season’s NSL top scorer Beja Nyamawi who also joined Bandari in the current window from SS Assad.

Bandari, who will open their 2023/24 campaign against Tusker on Saturday, is expecting to play one more friendly match on Wednesday in readiness for the new challenge.

 “We are waiting for our coach to give us the green light to play one last friendly before we welcome Tusker in the season opener,” Mbarak said.

In the meantime, Bandari is also looking for an alternate field to play their home matches as Mbaraki which they normally use is currently set for an upgrade.
