Shikhalo en route to Tanzania to complete move to Mtibwa Sugar

Kenyan international Farouk Shikhalo has confirmed that his one-season-stay at Tanzania’s Mainland Premier League side Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) has come to an end.

The former Yanga SC and Bandari FC goalkeeper is now headed to Tanzania’s Mtibwa Sugar, where he is expected to ink a one-year deal.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Shikhalo who is en route to Tanzanian to complete the deal said he’s confident of getting the agreement over the line in the course of the week.

 “I can’t say which day exactly (I’ll sign) but it’s definitely before the end of week,” he told Citizen Digital on phone on Tuesday.

Further, Shikhalo heaped praise on the Tanzania premier league saying the proper organization of the competition makes it among ‘the best leagues in the region’.

“Tanzania Premier League is well organized,” said Shikalo, noting that the Kenyan Premier League is engulfed in ‘huge leadership chaos’, contrary to Tanzanian club football competition which has attracted a lot of sponsorship.

Shikhalo two days ago bade KMC fans farewell with a post on his Instagram page, wishing the team well.

 “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire KMC family, which has been a part and parcel of my life in Tanzania. It was a great pleasure working together with you all,” Shikhalo wrote.

The Tanzania Premier League is expected to resume by mid next month.
