Kenyan midfielder Apollo Otieno is yet to make debut for Tanzanian Premier League side Dodoma Jiji a month after the club announced his arrival.Otieno severed ties with KCB, crossed the border, and signed a two-year-long deal with the outfit that is under the tutelage of former Kenyan international Francis Baraza.The defensive midfielder joined the club alongside former AFC Leopards captain and centre back Robinson Kamura who had last played for Kakamega Homeboyz before the call to greener pastures came.##NAJAVA_MECA_7872780##Otieno revealed that his debut on Tanzanian soil had been occasioned by the lengthy process of securing a work permit, a mandatory document for foreign players to produce before they are allowed to kick the ball at the competitive level.“I haven’t featured in a competitive match due to a delay in laying hands on my work permit. Otherwise, I am fully fit and eagerly waiting for the green light,” he told Mozzart Sport.Owino poised to make Leopards debut this weekend after recovering from knee injuryOtieno who previously worked under Baraza at Sony Sugar remained hopeful of getting the document next week and serving the club on the pitch.“There is a possibility of obtaining it next week. I can’t wait to get my first minutes in the league. I have been training hard just to be ready when the right time comes,” said the former Tusker midfielder.Just like Otieno, Kamura is yet to make his first competitive appearance for Dodoma who lost 1-0 to Coastal Union on Wednesday at Mkwakani Stadium.Tusker’s Apollo Otieno eyes a move abroadIbrahim Ajib netted the match-winning goal barely a minute into the game that saw former Bandari skipper Felly Mulumba feature for the winning side.Coastal Union are under former Harambee Stars tactician David Ouma.
