Former AFC Leopards striker Boniface Ambani says one of the reasons the club has not won the league title since 1998 is due to poor signings over the years.The club has not lifted the league title in 26 years, much to the frustration of the fans. Efforts to end this drought have proved futile over the years.##NAJAVA_MECA_8242058##Last season, the club finished in fifth position after recovering from a poor first leg, which saw the team battle relegation for the better part of it. They also reached the Mozzart Bet Cup semifinals, winning the third-place playoff.The team is now preparing for the new season, and Ambani says the club should be wiser in making signings. He says a proper assessment of the playing unit and its needs should be conducted to ensure that only the right players are brought on board.“Don’t compromise with the signings. We don’t just sign because it’s time to rush to the market and sign players. Consider first of all which kind of players you require,” he said in an interview with Citizen Digital.Tusker provide update on preseason plans ahead of trip abroadHe added that over the years, the lack of quality signings has been detrimental to the team and wants the club to have quality players both in the starting XI and on the subs bench.“One of the problems that is eating up AFC Leopards is the signings. When you are signing, you need a strong bench because a good team must have good players on the bench who are like the first eleven to have healthy competition in the playing unit,” the now Mara Sugar FC technical director added.Ingwe have so far completed two signings. Former Kariobangi Sharks and KCB striker Sidney Lokhale has inked a deal with the club, and so has ex-Sharks utility man Julius Masaba.
