During this transfer window, Yanga SC has continued to demonstrate its stature not only by signing new names, but also by ensuring the retention of its key players whose contracts had expired. This has proven to be a crucial strategy for big clubs worldwide—strengthening the foundation before adding decorations.
After confirming the contract extensions of Mudathir Yahya and Pacome Zouzoua, it is now official that talented Kenyan midfielder Duke Abuya has renewed his contract to continue serving Yanga for two more seasons.
Abuya was one of the key contributors to Yanga’s success last season. In the absence of defensive midfielder Khalid Aucho, Abuya stepped up and showcased great quality by stabilizing the midfield and forming a solid partnership with teammates like Mudathir and Maxi Nzengeli.
It is apparent that Yanga’s decision not to renew Khalid Aucho’s contract was influenced by the reliable performances displayed by Abuya. His ability to effectively manage responsibilities in central midfield has given Yanga new confidence.
Abuya’s continued presence in the squad is like a high-value new signing, considering he is already accustomed to Yanga’s system, has strong chemistry with his teammates, and has proven himself in both domestic and international competitions.
Yanga SC is showing through action its commitment to building on recent successes by relying on a solid foundation of players who have already demonstrated their worth. Renewing Abuya’s contract is a strategic and valuable move for the club ahead of the new season.
