EXCLUSIVE: Kahata on his emotional decision to leave Gor Mahia for Simba

Former Gor Mahia midfielder Francis Kahata has admitted it was not easy for him to leave the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions.

The Kenyan international joined Tanzania's Simba SC in a reported two-year deal and will bring to an end his association with K'Ogalo. Kahata had built a strong bond with his former teammates.

"To be honest it was a tough decision for me to make because of the emotional attachment I have with the team. We have played together for more than three seasons, managed to win titles with them and now I am leaving, it was not as easy as it seems," Kahata told Goal.
