Kenyan international Francis Kahata has officially parted ways with Tanzanian giants, Simba SC with an entire month still left on his two-year contract.
As he bade farewell to the club's ardent supporters, Kahata hailed head coach Didier Gomes for coming to his rescue during his final stormy months at Wekundu Wa Msimbazi.
Kahata is leaving the Tanzanian giants Simba SC after two seasons, and is now free to enter into transfer talks with any club and Sudan's side has emerged as one possible destination for the forward as talks have begun.
The Harambee Star joined Simba SC from Kenyan heavyweights Gor Mahia just after participating in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and went on to win the Premier League, the Tanzania Cup and the Community Shield.
This season, Kahata was registered only for the CAF Champions League games, meaning he had little input in the domestic league that Simba are all about to conquer once more. His exit leaves Joash Onyango as the only Kenyan doing trade with Wekundu Wa Msimbazi.
Kahata penned a glowing farewell message for Simba fans and management after leaving, saying he would exit with his head held high.
"I leave with my head held up and proud of my achievements at the club. It is now time to say goodbye and farewell to all of you. A man has to seek newer challenges and greater opportunities elsewhere. I will forever be grateful to the team for everything and wish everyone all the best in the coming games and seasons. Kahata stated in his farewell message to Simba SC.
2014 league champions Azam FC and Sudan based side Al Merikh have been linked with a move for the Kenya international.
