How Onyango inspired compatriot Magoola: Richards Bay goalkeeper Salim Magoola has opened up about the influence of his countryman Denis Onyango in his own football career.
The 27-year-old Magoola first arrived in SA to join Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit Pretoria Callies in October 2021. The Ugandan shot-stopper joined Bay from Callies at the start of the current campaign.Onyango has not played a role only in my career but he’s a role model to almost every player in Uganda. There was a time where things weren’t going well for him here in SA... when he left SuperSport [in 2010] he joined Aces and he wasn’t getting game time.
“When I came to Callies he told me that I must work hard and I will get a Premiership move... that gave me courage and the rest is history. He’s a good example to all of us in Uganda... an epitome of hard work.” Magoola may be in his first season in the South African top-flight but he is a seasoned campaigner, having tasted CAF Champions League football during his stints with Sudanese giants Al-Merrick and Al-Hilal. The Ugandan international played for Al-Merrick between 2014 and 2018 before spending the next four years at Al-Hilal.I spent seven years in Sudan, playing in the Champions League as well. That made things a little bit easier for me to adapt to life in the PSL.
Magoola is odds-on to start when Natal Rich Boyz host Kaizer Chiefs in a Dstv Premiership encounter at King Zwelithini Stadium on Saturday . Bay v Chiefs, King Zwelithini ; Royal v Sekhukhune, Chatsworth ; Maritzburg v CPT City, Harry Gwala . Chippa v AmaZulu, Nelson Mandela Bay ; Marumo v Galaxy, Free State ; Stellenbosch v Sundowns, Danie Craven ; SuperSport v Arrows, Lucas Moripe .
