The 27-year-old defender is the second longest serving player in the current squad.

Tanzania Premier League giants Simba Sports Club are working hard behind the scenes to keep one of their big players at Msimbazi beyond the end of his contract.

Mohamed "Tshabalala'' Hussein Zimbwe Jr's current deal runs out at the end of the season, and with the Msimbazi Reds taking note of his contribution and potential, they are keen to tie him down.

Hussein's agent, Carlos, confirmed that discussions about a new deal had been initiated between the club and the player's camp.

"We are in the process of renewing the contract. We are still negotiating and we are waiting to see what will happen.When we agree the player will sign a new contract," Carlos told Pulse Sports.

Norwegian Rosenborg is believed to be one of the clubs monitoring the defenders' situation at Msimbazi Reds with interest.

"There is interest in the player from Rosenborg. The club is aware of the player's situation, and other opportunities are there for him to decide," a source disclosed.

Tshabalala joined Simba from Kagera Sugar almost a decade ago and has established himself as one of the best players at the club.

The 27-year-old left-back has featured in over 100 matches for the 22-time Tanzania Premier League champions.

Last year Tshabalala was linked with a possible move to Sudan after Al Khartoum lengthly monitored his progress at Msimbazi Reds.

Simba Sports Club is reportedly set to part ways with several players, including Kenyan defender Joash Onyango.

2022/2023 CAF Champions League quarter-finals are reportedly getting ready to sign a goalkeeper, two center-backs, two defensive midfielders, a left-back, two attacking midfielders, a striker, and two wingers.
