Since the Liberian Dirkir Glay left in August of last season, Gor Mahia have had to improvise by playing Innocent Wafula and Eric Ochieng in central defence with mixed results.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia team manager Jolawi Obondo confirmed the move.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Saleh has been training with us from yesterday and he will be a good addition to the squad due to his experience&#8221; said Obondo to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Obondo also said that they have already received a release letter from AFC Leopards.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Gor Mahia had denied that they were interested in Saleh.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those are just rumors. We have not expressed any interest in signing him. Currently we are working with the players we have on board&#8221; said Ronald Ngala when asked whether the club was pursuing Saleh.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Saleh was rumoured to be very interested in joining Gor Mahia and some outlets even reported that he had signed. He was later convinced by AFC officials to remain at the club.<\/p>\n<p>Saleh has played at Harambee stars alongside Musa Mohamed. Before playing for AFC, he was at Western Stima.<\/p>\n<h3>Vitals Statistics<\/h3>\n<p>Date of Birth: 25 January 1989<br \/>\nAge: 27<br \/>\nCaps: 3<br \/>\nPosition: Central defender<\/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\/reports-jackson-saleh-switches-to-gor-mahia\/\"\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>In a bid to shore up the central defence department which has been paper thin, Gor Mahia have signed AFC<\/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":[245,256],"class_list":["post-7924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-gor-mahia-transfer-news","tag-jackson-saleh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7924","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=7924"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7928,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7924\/revisions\/7928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
