Wycliffe Omon joins the Tanzanian Premier League champions as physiotherapist.

Tanzania Premier League powerhouse Simba Sports Club is gearing up for an exciting addition to their technical team as they prepare to unveil Kenyan physiotherapist Wycliffe Omon. 

Omon, who previously worked with Football Kenya Federation Premier League side Kenya Police FC, will be taking over the reins from South African Fareed Caseem, who recently departed the club. 

Police and Omon were thought to be in talks over a new contract but it is understood the paramedic was keen for a move out of South C.

Omon's impressive resume includes his involvement with the medical team of Harambee Stars, Kenya's national football team. 

With his expertise and experience, Omon is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring the players' fitness and well-being throughout the upcoming season.

The highly anticipated unveiling of  Omon will take place on July 15th in Turkey, where Simba is currently conducting their pre-season training camp. 

This strategic decision to introduce the new physiotherapist during the training camp underscores the club's dedication to integrating him seamlessly into the team dynamics and familiarizing him with the players' specific needs and routines.

With this appointment, Omon will become the second Kenyan to join the technical bench of Simba SC, following the arrival of Michael Igendia as the new Team Manager. 

Igendia, who previously served as the Strength and Conditioning coach for Harambee Stars, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the club.

His addition, along with Omon's, signifies Simba's determination to assemble a diverse and skilled team that can propel the club to new heights.

As the club's pre-season training camp progresses in Turkey, Simba SC supporters eagerly anticipate the impact that Omon's arrival will have on the team's overall fitness and performance. 

With his vast knowledge and experience in physiotherapy, Omon is poised to contribute significantly to the players' physical well-being and help them maintain peak performance throughout the demanding season.

The upcoming season holds great promise for Simba, as they strive to maintain their position as one of  Africa's football powerhouses.
