Dennis Onyango’s quest for regular football could come to fruition after the Ugandan international goalkeeper secured a loan move to Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Bidvest Wits University from Mamelodi Sundowns.
Without necessarily losing out to their talented shot-stopper completely, Sundowns are trying to cut down the numbers of their bulging squad by loaning rather selling, 22-year-old Abel Mabaso being the other on the long list of players to have been loaned out.
Sundowns’ official website confirmed: “Striker Edward Manqele has joined Moroka Swallows on a one year loan deal, while goalkeeper Dennis Onyango has also joined Bidvest Wits also on a loan deal.
“Young defender Abel Mabaso has also completed a one year loan move to PSL (Premier Soccer League) returnees, Mpumalanga Black Aces. He joins fellow defender Method Mwanjale and midfielder Themba Zwane.”
Onyango has struggled to get playing time and with the arrival of Zambian goalkeeper Kennedy Mwene, in addition to two other senior stars, it was difficult to have three international shot-stoppers on the bench.
The news is music to the ears for Uganda as Onyango could have put some games under his belt before Cranes must-win Group J world Cup qualifier against Senegal on September 7.
