Kahata is thankful to the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cI believe I have done my job well here at the club together with my teammates. Gor has been like my second home since leaving Thika and I believe that I have given them my best in all those years,\u201d&nbsp;  he said to Nairobi news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kahata is confident that the club will continue to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cI still believe that it is a good team with good players and they are capable of retaining the title in the new season as well and doing well in the Caf competitions,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kahata joined Kogalo in 2015 and has remained among the most consistent players. His play-making skills and his passing skills are the best this club has seen since the club&#8217;s revival in 2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been other midfielders who were better in other aspects such as work rate. But his play-making skills are unparalleled in this era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining Kogalo, Kahata was most synonimous with Thika United where he started his career while in primary school along with Peter Opiyo &#8220;Pinchez&#8221; in the Thika Youth System. He also had a loan spell in South Africa before proceeding to FC Tirana in 2014 where he played for two seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kahata has not made a decision on his next destination. At present he is focused on the Africa Nations cup which is kicking off next week and where he is certain to be in the starting line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cIt is such an honor being in this squad because there are so many players who were competing. Focus now for me is to do well for the team. It is prestigious being in the AFCON for the first time in 15 years and as a team, we will go out there to do our best,\u201d Kahata said to Capital FM. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/kahata-wishes-gor-mahia-well-as-he-departs\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midfield ace Francis Kahata, who has received numerous offers, most notably from Simba of Tanzania has finally confirmed his imminent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[125,112],"class_list":["post-14802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-francis-kahata","tag-gor-mahia-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14802"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14804,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14802\/revisions\/14804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
