Young Africans SC (Yanga) have officially confirmed the signing of attacking midfielder Juma Issa Abushiri, popularly known as Chuga Boy, from Fountain Gate on a three-year contract. The move brings an end to weeks of speculation surrounding the talented youngster's future, with reports previously linking him to a possible move to European football.
Chuga Boy joins the Tanzanian champions after both clubs reached an agreement, with the midfielder expected to be part of Yanga's squad as preparations for the 2026/27 season get underway. The highly-rated youngster has impressed with his performances in recent seasons, attracting interest from several clubs before Yanga secured his signature.
His arrival is part of Yanga's ongoing squad rebuilding under head coach Manqoba Mngqithi as the club strengthens its team ahead of the new campaign. The reigning Mainland Tanzania Premier League champions are aiming to retain their domestic title while making a stronger impact in the CAF Champions League.
Yanga supporters will now be eager to see Chuga Boy replicate the impressive form that made him one of Fountain Gate's standout performers, as the promising midfielder takes the next step in his career with the Tanzanian giants.
