According to Ulinzi Stars chairman Erick Oloo,the 2016 SportPesa Premier League golden boot award winner is set to leave the army team for unnamed Slovakian outfit.

“Makwatta has informed us of the opportunity that had come up for him and as a team, we cannot block his progress. We are happy for his achievement and we pray for him to succeed,”Oloo said in an interview with club portal.

“Life is all about progress and this for him is big progress. We thank Makwatta for his services. He has been a diligent servant of the team and has played a mammoth role in helping us to get where we are now. He has our blessings,” he added

The lanky forward has previously played for JMJ Academy and Nairobi City Stars before signing with Ulinzi where he scored thirty eight goals.

His last match for the Nakuru based side was on February 18 in the CAF Confederations Cup preliminary round win against Libya’s Al Hilal Benghazi where he provided an assist for the sole goal in the match.
