Gor Mahia coach Hassan Oktay has labelled captain Harun Shakava a quality player after he confirmed he will not renew his contract with the club.
The former Kakamega Homeboyz captain told Goal in an exclusive interview he will be seeking a new challenge when his contract with the Kenyan champions comes to an end in December.
Reacting to the news, coach Oktay has termed the exit of his captain as a huge blow to the side and wished him well.
“Shakava is a good player, an experienced player and of course if he goes, his absence will affect the team,” Oktay told Goal in an interview after Gor Mahia were bundled out of the Cecafa Cup by Green Eagles of Zambia.
