Elias leaves AbaJifar, Henok Joins Ethiopia Bunna

Left to rot on the reserve bench former Ethiopia Bunna and national team mid fielder Elias Mamo parted ways with defending champion Jimma AbaJifar while former Sehul-Shere that now holds mid fielder Henok Getahnu landed a two-year contract with Ethiopia Bunna.
Frustrated for being forgotten, with only seven starts from 19 Premier League matches under Coach Zemariam W/Giorgis, Elias Mamo left AbaJifar in mutual agreement. Once considered an upcoming play maker orchestrating the mid field with Saint George, Elias played for Ethiopia NegedBank and Ethiopia Bunna before he joined the champions at the start of the current season. Blamed for being overweight and lack of inspiration, Elias was said to be not on good terms with Coach Zemaraim W/Giorgis and Technical Director Worku Dergeba therefore he left the club half way through his contract. Sources close to Elias told Capital the mid fielder is already in touch with other teams at the upper tier.
In other news Ethiopia Bunna appears to have discovered the right player to tackle the defensive mid fielder problem signing Henok who left Sehul-Shere in mid season after a mutual agreement. The former Adama and Jimma AbaJifar mid fielder had a good season start with Sehul but when some started pointing fingers at the team’s poor result, Henok decided to part with the team only to put pen to paper with Ethiopia Bunna in less than a month. The tall and heavy set Henok is expected to be the right answer for Didier Gomes’ who is currently under pressure from club supporters.
