Uganda defender Shafiq Batambuze is among the players released by Gor Mahia ahead of the 2020-21 season.
The dreadlocked defender was partly used last season owing to a knee injury suffered while playing for the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions against Aigle Noir of Burundi in a Caf Champions League tie.
The injury forced him to return to his native Uganda to seek treatment after it emerged that Gor Mahia had refused to assist him financially to undergo a knee operation.
