The development meant that the former Thika United midfielder would only be summoned for duty in the CAF Champions League duties which ended last month fater losing 4-3 on aggregate to Kaizer Chiefs in the quarters.
In an Instagram post, the player has now confirmed that he has left the Dar es Salaam based club.
