Kenyan international Allan Wanga has hang his boots after 14 years playing football in Kenya and across the world.
Wanga, who retired from international assignments in April this year, the Kakamega Homeboyz striker announced on his facebook page that he has hanged boots, citing his age and other private engagements.
Wanga who also works for Kakamega county government thanked Homeboyz family for the good time he has been with the club.
The long post on his page wrote: “Fourteen years doing something that brings you joy, satisfaction and pride is a blessing. I have lived this blessing since I first kicked a football at a tender age and stepped into the stadium professionally.”
He continued: “My love for football has taken me places I had never imagined I would go, both for club and national duty. I have witnessed wins and losses, lifted trophies, endured the pain of being so close yet so far to important wins, through it all, I have been lifted by the love and support of an incredible army of supporters.”
“Without you, my fans, teammates, technical benches across the clubs that I have played for, my family, I wouldn’t have had the motivation to keep going. Please accept my sincerest thanks for keeping me grounded, lifted me up when I needed that boost and kept me in check when I needed to get my game better.”
“As I exit the professional football stage, I take this opportunity to give you all my gratitude. I was because you were there for me. Thank you and God bless. See you outside the field.”
