Ayub Timbe: Kenyan star parts ways with Vissel Kobe

Harambee Stars midfielder Ayub Timbe has parted ways with Japanese club Vissel Kobe, just five months after signing the club.

Timbe confirmed the decision on social media, saying he was moving away due to, among other reasons, family.

“Due to Family reasons and lack of playtime, the Club and I have had a mutual agreement to part ways,”he posted on his Facebook page.

“I wish it would have been different but sometimes life happens. I want to take this time say goodbye and thank you to the club, the entire staff and the fantastic supporters of Vissel Kobe.

“Thank you for the support and affection you have given me in such a small period of time. It was a honour and pleasure being apart of the Kobe family. I Wish you all the best and luck in the rest of the season.”

Timbe played 15 times for Kobe, scoring twice during his short stint with the club.
