AFC Leopards have completed the signing of three players to bolster their squad for the second leg, where they hope to climb up the league table following a disastrous first leg spent in the relegation zone or just above the red line.The club had been in talks with potential targets for weeks, and a section of fans expressed their disappointment with the way the club hierarchy handled the transfer business.##NAJAVA_MECA_7821858##Finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel as the club concluded three new acquisitions. Leading the pack is Arthur Gitego, a Rwandan striker acquired from Marines FC of Rwanda for a two-year deal.Gitego has been in the country for the last two weeks, training with Ingwe, and was also part of the squad in Kakamega, where Ingwe camped for a week in readiness for last week’s game against Nairobi City Stars. The striker has now signed his contract and will be the only foreigner in Ingwe’s ranks.Posta Rangers captain Ken Owino has also put pen to paper. The central defender’s pursuit had proven to be a tough task for Ingwe, as the demands from the mailmen were too high. However, the player made it clear that he wanted to move to the den, and there has been a breakthrough at long last. He will play for the Tomas Trucha-led team this second leg and beyond.Completing the list is highly rated Christopher Koloti, a striker from the Green Commandos. Talks for the player had been prolonged, and there were fears that the deal would not be concluded. However, Ingwe finally secured their man. In December, he featured for Ingwe in an exhibition match against Kakamega Homeboyz at the Bukhungu Stadium and scored the only goal of the game.Ingwe is still in the market in search of an attacking midfielder, as per coach Trucha’s wishes.Meanwhile, striker Yasin Sije and midfielders Giovanni Lukumwa and Shawn Oloo are expected to leave the club on loan for the remainder of the current campaign.Eston Esiye confident of Homeboyz’ rise from ‘the ashes’
