Ugandan striker Bbaale trains with Gor as club aim to bolster squad

Ugandan striker Charles BBaale is training with Gor Mahia as the Kenyan club weighs the prospects of signing him to bolster their ranks.

Gor CEO Raymond Oruo has in the meantime confirmed their desire to rope in the Ugandan when the transfer market opens, but says that will be subject to approval by the technical bench after 'thorough analysis of his abilities'.

‘’The striker is with us in training but we have not signed him. The transfer window opens on Friday and the technical bench will advise the office depending on their observation,’’ said Oruo.

Bbaale previously featured for Rwandese side Ryon Sports where he played for 18 months. He is currently a free agent following the expiry of his contract with the Rwandese giants.

BBaale has also previously featured for Ugandan side SC Villa. If signed by Gor, he will be joining his country mate Pius Akena who also joined Gor at the beginning of the season.

Akena has found play time few and far between at K’Ogalo since joining.The CEO has in the meantime said they will bolster their squad by filling many areas they feel are wanting noting that once the transfer window is opened, they will definitely disclose names of more players they intend to recruit.

It is understood that Bbaale did not have enough playing time in Rwanda which prompted him not to renew his contract. The arrival of Bbaale will probably ignite the seemingly dimming attack in the Gor Mahia forward which barely score goals.

Ever since the departure of Benson Omalla to a Lebanese side, Gor have not been very sharp upfront with his strikers firing blanks in most matches.

Omalla is also in training with Gor and our sources says he will be loaned to Gor from his Lebanese club. He was instrumental in Gor’s tittle triumph last term before he left for Lebanon.

According to Oruo, a number of areas in the squad need beefing.
