The tactician says the tournament was an eye opener for him and that he will have to temporarily send 12 of the players out for them to get more playtime. The players who will be heading out are majorly youngsters whom the club acquired from lower leagues and schools.“The tournament was an eye opener for us because it gave us the bigger picture of the players at our disposal.

They are all young players who have never played in the top tier and we believe that they have the quality to grace the FKF Premier League in future, for now we will loan them out so that they can get the much-needed playtime. I believe that they will come back as better players,”.The club will also be beefing up the squad with a few more seasoned faces. Odongo says they have already identified the players that they intend to sign and are engaging them in contractual talks.“The window is now open and we intend to sign some more players. There are departments that we must beef up and we are going to get players in those positions. We are in talks with these potential signings because we have identified them and in the next few days we will unveil them,” he added.Football tribulations force KPL clubs to re-grow teeth after brutal FKF exodontia
