The former Cranes captain is back in the country on holiday after a hectic South African season with his Mamelodi Sundowns side, who claimed the Dstv Premiership title with seven games to spare and also reached the semifinals of the CAF Champions League.
They say old habits die hard, and Denis Onyango showed just that after visiting the Uganda Cranes training camp on Friday.
The former Cranes captain is back in the country on holiday after a hectic South African season with his Mamelodi Sundowns side, who claimed the Dstv Premiership title with seven games to spare and also reached the semifinals of the CAF Champions League.
Onyango joined fellow shot-stoppers Ismail Watenga, Nafian Alionz and Salim Jamal as the goalkeepers who were taken through their paces by the Cranes goalkeeper coach Fred Kajoba at East High School Ntinda.
Pulse Sports understands the gangly Masandawana captain is only training with the national side to keep fit as he prepares for another upcoming PSL season.
Denis Onyango retired from international football in April 2021 after a stellar 18-year career with the Uganda Cranes amassing 79 caps. He also led Uganda to her first AFCON appearance in 38 years.
The shot-stopper's presence in camp will go a long way in inspiring the team's preparations for the Algeria clash.
Multin Micho Sredejovic's charges are preparing to face Algeria in the 2023 AFCON qualifier on 18th June in Douala, Cameroon; Uganda is third on the log on four points and needs to win to better their chances of qualifying for the finals in Ivory Coast.
The Cranes hope to return to the biannual nation's football showpiece for the first time since the 2019 edition, where they reached the round of 16.
