Danger man Obua quits Cranes

 Updated on 22/02/12  |    By PAUL MURIUNGI

 

First it was full back Nestroy Kizito, followed by skipper Ibrahim Sekagya and now top rated striker David Obua has hung his boots from international football.

Obua, 29, wrote to Fufa announcing his retirement from the national scene citing to “give a chance to upcoming stars and build on my personal football career”.

This is a day after Captain Ibrahim Sekagya quit the national squad after adorning the Uganda Cranes colors for 15 years. Obua has been in the squad for close to 10 years.

The Hearts FC forward’s retirement again comes days before the big clash between Uganda Cranes and Congo-Brazzaville in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on the 29th of February leaving Coach Bobby Williamson with a replacement menace.
