YOUNG Africans, alias Yanga, returned to pre-season training in Dar es Salaam last weekend ahead of a busy month of preparation for the upcoming 2022/23 campaign.
YOUNG Africans, alias Yanga, are gearing up for another Premier League title defense as the outfit's head coach Nasredine Nabi looks to retain the crown.
Against Simba, the former Posta Rangers and Bandari goalkeeper stopped Joash Onyango’s penalty as they went on to win 4-3 in the shoot-out.
For him, the coach and the fellow goalkeepers Metacha Mnata and Ramadhan Kabwili deserved credit for what they contributed behind the scenes as they were crowned champions in Zanzibar.
“I am very happy and thankful for the coach [Cedric Kaze] to trust me all through the tournament. I am also happy for my fellow goalkeepers Metacha and Kabwili for the support they have given me all through,” the Kenya international told reporters.
“The goalkeeping coach also deserves a special mention because he has been a key figure that has ensured my growth as a goalkeeper.”
