In the realm of Tanzanian football, the name Duke Abuya continues to gain momentum like wildfire. This skillful Kenyan midfielder has displayed top-level performance this season, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Currently, reliable reports from within the historic champions, Yanga SC, confirm that the club has decided to offer him a lucrative contract following his significant contribution to coach Miloud Hamdi's squad.
Abuya stepped in for defensive midfielder Khalid Aucho when he was sidelined due to injury, and he executed the role with exceptional skill. While fans and analysts anticipated a major gap, Abuya emerged as a savior, playing with discipline, intelligence, and a unique vision on the field.
With his accurate passing and ability to cover a large area of the pitch, he ensured Yanga maintained its strength in the midfield.
This impressed coach Hamdi to the extent of entrusting him even more. In the CRDB Cup semifinal match against JKT Tanzania, despite Aucho having recovered, Hamdi chose to start Abuya.
There are also rumors that Algeria’s JS Kabylie club is interested in acquiring his services, prompting Yanga to fast-track negotiations to extend his contract.
His current contract expires at the end of this season, but according to sources within the Jangwani-based club, talks to secure a longer-term deal are already progressing well.
