Njuguna, a product of the club’s youth side returns on a two-year contract and has joined the team’s training group in Mombasa.

“I am more so excited with the challenge of playing continental football. This is a massive opportunity for me as a player. Also, Tusker is a team with high demands and that will make me push harder as a player,” he added.
