Gor Mahia was handed a two-transfer window ban by the world’s football governing body FIFA for breach of contract involving Ghanaian player Jackson Owusu.
The club had expected to be given the green light before the end of the current transfer window and went ahead to lure some new players who have been training with the side despite not being registered.
Some of the new players include the Ugandan duo of Shafiq Kagimu and Patrick Kaddu, defenders Emery Bayisenge of Rwanda, and Sylvester Owino, formerly of Kakamega Homeboyz.
