In a new twist of events, Sofapaka president Elly Kalekwa has confirmed striker John Avire will return home to play for the club this season.
Avire, who played for the Harambee Stars during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals staged in Egypt, has been embroiled in a long transfer tussle with Sofapaka and the Egyptian side Tanta SC, with the latter claiming to have secured the services of the player.
However, Sofapaka maintained Avire was still their player and even threatened to report Tanta to Fifa for allegedly tapping up the player.
