Young Africans SC have included Ghanaian midfielder Bernard Morrison in their squad for the new season despite his switch to Simba SC.
The 27-year-old joined Simba SC from Young Africans on a two-year deal earlier this month in a controversial transfer that left his former club lodging a complaint with the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), who later cleared him to play for Simba.
However, Yanga are unsatisfied and have vowed to move to the Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) in Zurich to protest the decision by the TFF.
"The player listed in number 28 is Bernard [Morrison], who is still our player as we have a case in CAS, so Morrison is still our player," Kitenge announced to the applause of Yanga fans, who turned up for the celebrations.
Despite all the controversies, Morrison was in action for Simba SC as they defeated Namungo FC 2-0 to lift the 2020 Community Shield Cup at the Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha on Sunday.
Ghanaian international registered his name on the scoresheet to double the lead for Simba SC in the 60th minute after skipper John Bocco had opened the scoring for Simba SC in the 7th minute from the penalty spot.
