Kalekwa: Sofapaka still waiting for Avire to serve his contract after Tanta SC move

Sofapaka President Elly Kalekwa has revealed they are still waiting for striker John Avire to return and honour his one-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

The Harambee Stars striker left Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side Batoto ba Mungu under unclear circumstances to sign for Egyptian club Tanta SC last year, a move the former immediately contested and even filed a case with Fifa to have it reversed.

With one now gone, Sofapaka boss Kalekwa has told Goal they are still waiting for the player, who was in the Kenya squad for the Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Comoros, to come back and honour his remaining contract with the club.
