Thika United have released three players ahead of new SportPesa Premier League season.

Ugandan forward Brian Toorach, is one of those to leave, along with defenders Eric Lusala and Patrick Maina.

The youngster has struggled to impress at the Thika-based club, and coach James Nadwa has decided to offload him alongside the two other who have flopped since joining the side.

Meanwhile Head Coach James Nandwa has identified six to seven players who are in the final stages of signing into the team,

“We have let go of this three so that they may get some game time elsewhere, but we shall also be recruiting players who have been training with us for the last two weeks and hopefully by the end of this week we shall have finalized with the new signings.”said Nadwa in an interview with the club portal.

The team is scheduled to play two friendlies over the weekend against Vapour FC and Gor Mahia on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th January.
