Midfielder Shaphan Siwa has expressed his desire to replicate the success he enjoyed at Tusker FC as he embarks on a new chapter with Tanzanian side Kagera Sugar. The 27-year-old has signed a two-year contract with Kagera, bringing a successful four-year stint at Tusker to a close.
Siwa made the move to Tanzania after his contract at Tusker expired, with Kagera Sugar offering him an enticing deal.
Speaking to Telecomasia.net, Siwa admitted that leaving Tusker wasn’t an easy decision. However, he felt it was time for a fresh challenge.
Tusker has been like family to me, and it was not easy to leave. But I believe it's time to push myself further and embrace a new challenge. I’ve enjoyed tremendous success there, and now I’m eager to test myself at a new club, with the aim of replicating that success and even surpassing it.
Siwa has been in outstanding form this season, contributing directly to 10 goals in just 14 matches for Tusker FC. With one goal and a league-leading nine assists, his performances have been pivotal for the team. His impressive displays also earned him a national team call-up for the Mapinduzi Cup, although he did not make the final travelling squad.
He returns to the Tanzanian league, having played there briefly for Biashara United in 2020 before joining Tusker.
