The Angolan star, who has struggled to nail a starting role in the team after he picked a troubling knee injury that saw him miss a number of the team’s first-round matches including the derby against Simba SC, came in for Michael Sarpong and was rewarded after he fastened onto a through ball from Deus Kaseke to plant the ball into an empty net.
Kaze had made changes to his starting eleven bringing in Kenyan keeper Farouk Shikhalo for Metacha Mnata, who many felt was at fault as the team snatched a 3-3 draw against Kagera in their last outing.
However, the player has now returned to full training sessions but has not been handed a start since the second round of the league started, only coming on as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 draw against Mbeya City.
Carlinhos, who got off to a flying start at Yanga after scoring two goals and assisting two, has now said he is ready to play for the giants if and when the coach wants him to.
“I am fit at the moment because I was suffering from injuries and it really affected my performance since I was not able to play and entertain my fans,” Carlinhos said as quoted by
Razak has now come out to state he signed the deal because it will give him the opportunity to sign for another club if they come for his services.
“Six months for me is okay because it will give me the opportunity to leave unhindered when I need to go, so I believe it is a good contract for both parties,” Razak said as quoted by
“However, the way I have seen Yanga, I strongly believe I will add another contract to stay in the squad.”
In a recent interview, Yanga’s acting secretary Haji Mfikirwa explained the reason they had handed Razak a six-month contract, saying it could be extended.
