Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>YOUNG Africans\u2019 outgoing midfield maestro Haruna Niyonzima has insisted he will not play for the rival clubs if he continue his career in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The decorated midfielder bid farewell to the club fans during his team\u2019s 2-0 league win over Ihefu and he is adamant that if he will play in the country he won\u2019t join Yanga\u2019s rival clubs as he respects his yellow and green outfit he served for more than six year since 2012.<\/p>\n

Niyonzima told Daily News that he feels he has a few years to play before officially quitting the game and insisted that he can play elsewhere but if he will choose to continue playing in Tanzanian league he will not feature for any Yanga\u2019s rival clubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good thing is that I have peacefully parted ways with my club. They bid farewell to me in a manner that I feel honoured.<\/p>\n

It is the big club with great history to get the chance to part company in most respectful manner is something that I will carry in my heart forever,\u201d said Niyonzima who also featured for Yanga\u2019s traditional rivals Simba in 2016\/17 and 2017\/18 seasons.<\/p>\n

The Rwandan national was introduced in the second half of the game and was immediately handed the captain\u2019s armband by Yanga skipper Bakari Mwamnyeto.<\/p>\n

However, speaking after the match during a special occasion to bid him farewell,the club\u2019s Chairman Mshindo Msolla urged Niyonzima to continue taking up coaching courses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you have CAF licence C as such, if you can go further with coaching training, one day you may be considered for either Assistant Coach of the senior team or Head Coach for the youth side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
