AZAM FC of Tanzania have released their Zimbabwean utility player Bruce Kangwa after seven years of service.

Kangwa confirmed last night that he had left the Tanzanians whom he captained on Monday afternoon in that country’s Football Association Cup final.

They were beaten 1-0 to finish second and qualify for the Caf Confederation Cup.

Kangwa could not be drawn to state his next destination.

“For now since it’s off season I just need to rest but anything that comes out I will get it,” said the Zimbabwe international.

Asked if he would consider Zimbabwean offers Kangwa replied: “For the right price!”

His agent, George Deda who was in Tanzania for the FA Cup final on Monday confirmed last night that they were talking to some clubs and did not rule out joining another club there.

Kangwa won all the silverware in that country except the championship.

He also played in both the African Champions League and Caf Confederations Cup.

“We are talking to some teams and we cannot rule out a move to other teams in Tanzania.

“Also we must know that when a player joins a team the next is for him to say bye. Bruce served Azam with honour and distinction. He rose to be captain of one of the biggest and richest teams in East and Central Africa,” said Deda, Kangwa’s agent and friend of many years.

Deda described Kangwa as the ultimate professional who was humble and hardworking always having a sense of belonging.

He joined Azam from Highlanders FC in 2016 after writing off US$12 000 owed to him by the club who were struggling financially then.

Kangwa started his professional career at Railstars FC before Madinda Ndlovu brought him over to the 2006 league champions.
