Last season, he played 28 out of 30 matches and accumulated a total of 2339 minutes in the Tanzanian Premier League where he was involved in 8 goals, scoring four and assisting four,” Yanga posted on their website.

According to reports, Abuya, who moves from Ihefu (now called Singida Big Stars) will join Timu ya Wananchi on a season-long loan from Kenya Police FC.
