I love Gor Mahia and will return to inspire them to glory – Batambuze

The Ugandan left-back reveals he harbours no hard feelings towards his employers after they neglected him during surgery

Gor Mahia defender Shafik Batambuze has admitted he will still play for the club when he returns from injury.

The Ugandan left-back had to rely on well-wishers to cater for his surgery fee after picking up an injury while in action for the Kenyan champions against Burundi’s Aigle Noir in the preliminary round of the Caf Champions League last August.

The club was expected to cater for his medication but the Ugandan player was served with shock after Gor Mahia gave him a cold shoulder, thanks to the exit of SportPesa which rendered the club sponsorless.
