We have agreed on terms and we are sending him a contract and hopefully we will be able to finalize before sending his name to Caf ahead of the deadline for registration in the continental cup. He will be a very valuable inclusion in the team ahead of the new season,&#8221; Gor Mahia&#8217;s secretary general George Bwana told supersport.com.<\/p>\n<p>Walusimbi will be joining his Ugandan compatriot Dan Sserunkuma who has played a pivotal role for K\u2019Ogalo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oboya Targeting Stars call-up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From a story on goal.com, Patrick Oboya signed a two year deal with K\u2019Ogalo on Tuesday after his initial six month contract expired and says he wants to impress Adel Amrouche<\/p>\n<p>Kenyan midfielder Patrick Oboya opted to extend his stay at Gor Mahia due to a desire for more playing time and to return to the national team Harambee Stars.<\/p>\n<p>Oboya\u2019s agent Patrick Muthomi said on Wednesday that playing at Gor Mahia for another season remains the player\u2019s best option at the moment. Oboya signed a two year deal with Gor Mahia on Tuesday after his initial six month contract expired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at the current circumstances, it only makes sense that he plays at Gor Mahia for another season. He needs to get more playing time and also be seen by national team selectors and with Gor Mahia featuring at continental level, he is likely to get more exposure and so that is why we extended his stay,\u201d Muthomi told <strong>Goal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He also revealed that several offers they had got were not impressive. Oboya was on loan at Gor Mahia for the last six months of 2013.<\/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\/walusimbi-close-to-completing-gor-mahia-move\/\"\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>courtesy of supersport.com Uganda Cranes left back Godfrey Walusimbi is set to join Kenyan Premier League champions Gor Mahia.
