Onyango retirement reactions: 'Retire jersey number 18' - AC Paradou's Okello

Paradou AC midfielder Allan Okello has urged the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) to retire jersey number 18 in honour of legendary custodian Denis Onyango.

The Mamelodi Sundowns shot-stopper announced his retirement from the national team on Monday ending his 16-year career with Uganda Cranes. The 20-year-old is still in disbelief of the decision by the 35-year-old but has since gone to wish him the best.

"Captain, leader, names can’t say it all," the former Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) FC player tweeted.
