KPL: Musalia to play for Tusker from second leg
Goalkeeper Martin Musalia will only be eligible to play for Tusker in the second leg of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). Musalia signed for the brewers from AFC Leopards after close of the transfer window. According to Tusker FC’s director Charles Obiny, the goalkeeper will give them more options in goal. “We signed him late and therefore can only use him when the transfer window reopens. He is a good addition to our squad and will give plenty of options in goal,” he said. Musalia left Leopards citing lack of payment after the club fell into financial difficulties.
