He bid farewell to the Gor Mahia fraternity is this touching message:

It’s my pleasure to take a moment to say a big word of – THANK YOU – to Gor Mahia fraternity. There comes a time when a player has to retire from active football and I am no exception as I had to do that after nine years at the club.”

“I honestly and will truly treasure all the moments we shared in the club because all through those nine seasons, I achieved what I would have yearned for as a player in local football.

“First, my appreciation goes to the Gor Mahia FC for believing in me in all those nine years where I offered my services as a goalkeeper. Gor Mahia made me who I am and for that, I owe the club a great deal. THANK YOU.

“To my team mates, thanks for the good and bad times we shared together as a team. The hard work and discipline that saw us achieve what was admired by many should continue because success is all you can be proud of as a player. Whatever you achieve in your career will go a long way in life.”

“To all Gor Mahia fans, a big thank you for the role you play within Gor Mahia circles. You are a true picture of what fans should be to a team. Your massive support is a huge element in every step the team makes and I am urging you to keep the fire burning. Be close to the team and support all players all through no matter what the situation is.”

“To my family and relatives, thanks a lot for the big support you’ve offered all through my football career,” he concluded.

Ghafla wishes him well in his new endeavours.
