6-Time super league winner, Express FC have released goalkeeper Emmanuel Opiyo and defensive midfielder Bernard Agele.

Agele was signed at the start of the season as a free agent and taken part in several matches but the team’s performance has forced the Red Eagles head coach Shafiq Bisaso to shake up the team.

Opiyo has already switched to Kenya Premier League side, Sofapaka after failing to beat Godwin Bbule in the starting role.

The club had earlier in the month released nine other players including; Deo Othieno, Salim Munubi, Isaac Katende, Abdul Karim Kasule, Rashid Nsubuga, John Kisakye, Jose Maria Lubega, Promise Mkepena and James Easther Ago.

The team is also expected to lose their lead striker Daniel Sserunkuma whose contract is ending before the second round kicks off.
