FKF Premier League veteran striker John Makwata is among the notable additions to Bandari FC’s squad.
Bandari FC has officially announced the acquisition of four new players as they look to maintain momentum and secure a respectable finish in the FKF Premier League.
The club unveiled the signings at Mbaraki Sports Club on Monday, February 17, as they gear up for the second half of the season.
The most notable addition is veteran Kenyan Premier League striker John Makwata, who brings a wealth of experience to the Dockers.
Coach Duncan Ayiemba revealed the behind-the-scenes challenges, including unexpected changes in Ferdinand Omanyala’s support team, that led to his disappointing performance in Budapest.
