Names like Daniel, Sakari, Brian Bwire, James Mazembe and Boniface Mwangemi were among the young players who managed to make a name for themselves from the club as they secured top deals with the best teams in the land.Bwire and Sakari have since moved to twelve time champions Tusker with record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia rumoured to be salivating on Mazembe who is currently a free agent.
