Following the signing of Kenyan international, Ovella Ochieng, Township Rollers will push either Malian, Mohammed Diallo or Jean-Bertrand Iradukunda of Rwanda out of the exit door.

Ochieng’s arrival means Popa now has four foreign players at their disposal, one more than the required quota. The Kenyan striker joins from South African outfit, Marumo Gallants and has one goal from his 10 Kenya national team caps. Speaking to Mmegi Sport, Rollers’ public relations officer, Bafana Pheto said the club is awaiting advice from the medical team as to which player to deregister.

The pair has been struggling with injuries since their arrival. Diallo was a key member of the squad under departed coach, Hasaan Oktay and has three goals to his name. Iradukunda on the other hand has seen playing minutes hard to come by as he was still recovering from an injury. He has three appearances for the club and all came from the bench. “We are still looking which of the two foreign players who are injured we could deregister. It is between Diallo and Bertrand, the two players are currently out with injuries.
