According to a statement released by Kagera Sugar, Jabir has landed a lucrative opportunity for trials with one-time Belgian League Champions KAA Gent.
He left the country for Belgium on Monday morning ready to immediately start participating in training sessions.
Jabir attracted interest from KAA Gent, a club in the Belgian topflight after a good season with Kagera Sugar, where he scored five goals and provided one assist in 19 appearances in the 2022/23 NBC Premier League.
His domestic performance earned him a place in Tanzania's national team 'Taifa Stars' squad for the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Uganda last month.
The former Dodoma Jiji FC striker will spend two weeks training with the Belgian side before returning home.
Should he earn deals with the side, this will be the first that he will be playing for a club outside Tanzania.
A successful trial could also see Jabiry become the fourth Tanzanian to play in the Belgian Pro League following in the footsteps of Mbwana Samatta, Kelvin John, and Novatus Dismas.
Samatta and John are with KRC Genk while Dismas is turning out for Zulte Waregem.
