John Raphael Bocco

A towering prolific striker has spent all his life in Tanzania premiership with Azam FC, which in deed has natured his talent since joining us in 2007 from lower division club, Kijitonyama FC

Bocco, a little bit slim and can be erroneously regarded as slow pace player but on the contrary he has proved to be sharp by making himself available at right places in front of the goal and attend to various ball passed to him and score relentlessly. He is a top Azam scorer.

In his and Azam’s first premier league season of 2008/2009 Bocco scored nine goals, then he went on to score 13 goals in the second season of 2009/10 and 13 goals during the third season.

John Bocco has as well spent some weeks on trial with Israel premier league side, Apoel Tel- Viv but the deal could not go through.

For some year Bocco has been a member of the national team Taifa Stars, to which he has gave the needed contribution whenever his services are required.
