Moses Waiswa: Denis Onyango is like a father figure to me

SuperSport United midfielder Moses Waiswa says Ugandan compatriot Denis Onyango has given him invaluable guidance over the last seven months.

Waiswa signed for Matsatsantsa from Vipers SC in January this year and has so far made three appearances for the Pretoria outfit.

The 23-year-old admits it's been difficult to adjust to the intensity of the PSL but his transition has been helped by Sundowns goalkeeper Onyango.

"I was out injured for seven months. I felt [the South African Premiership] is a higher level with lots of tactics and speed compared to Ugandan standards," Waiswa told Daily Sun.

"I felt [the South African Premiership] is a higher level with lots of tactics and speed compared to Ugandan standards.

"I am settling in quite well every day. It’s a great feeling. He [Onyango] helped a lot with advice and support and he is like a father figure to me."

SuperSport were defeated by their local rivals, Sundowns, in the Nedbank Cup, and Waiswa conceded that it was a tough one to take but he is also glad to have recovered from the injury that has been hampering him early in his spell.

"It wasn't a good experience losing to Sundowns. It was also bad because the lockdown came in, but it helped me work more on myself," he added.

"I am good now. Healing is not only physical but also mental. I would say now I'm 90% healed.

"I feel sharp. SuperSport United fans should expect my best performances for the team if I am given a chance."
