South Sudan’s US-based defender Duach Jok (Pictured in jersey 4) is set to join the national team training camp ahead of their crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin in March.

He will rejoin the league after spending only one season with Kator FC having helped them to finish in the fourth position on the log last season.
