The move will be formalized once the Ethiopian Premier League transfer window opens. Sunday, who joined the coffee growers last year enjoyed great success and was among top league performers.

He has since been linked with many moves from within and outside Ethiopia but has agreed to follow coach Zelalem Shiferaw at Dire Dawa.

Zelalem was the former Bunna coach, who signed Sunday from the Kenyan Premier League side before he left for Dawa to assume a similar role.

“They were always good to me and supported me. I am going to miss them. I want to thank the club President and the coaching staff and above all the fans,” Sunday told Soka25east.com.

Sidama finished third in the just ended EPL season, while Dawa survived relegation on the last day.

Dire Dawa if found in the Eastern part of Ethiopia near Djibouti. The city is known for churning out many football greats.
