MCF head coach David Mahira has termed the exit of Ezekiel Okare as a massive blow to his plan to have the club promoted in the new season.The National Super League side lost its best scorer in the past campaign to Bidco United who have been splashing cash for fun in the player transfer market.Okare who was the league’s second best scorer behind Elly Saenyi who has since joined Ulinzi Stars ditched MCF for Bidco, a move that will see him return to the top flight after a season in the second division.Why new signing Henry Meja has been missing AIK matches in SwedenMahira said the forward was in his plan for the new season and his departure leaves him with a difficult task of shopping another proven goal scorer in the market.”I would have loved to have Okare in the team in the new season but our transfer policy is clear when it comes to letting players with good offers elsewhere go. Finding a striker who can hit more than twenty goals is difficult especially when you have to compete with deep pocketed clubs. Losing Okare is a big blow to our plan to get promoted, ” he said.Besides watching the former Sofapaka man leave, MCF are said to have parted ways with Alex Waiswa who was in Bidco’s radar as well as Kevin Ochieng who joined Kibera Black Stars.##NAJAVA_MECA_6580702##MCF who will be in their third season in the league are set to resume training on Monday.Mahira in the meantime said he is hoping to snap at least three defenders and midfielders to beef up the team ahead of the start of the season.”I have to rebuild considering that I released three defenders and a midfielder. These are areas that gave us trouble last season and have to be strengthened before the start of the campaign,” he said.
