Tusker FC head coach Charles Okere has welcomed the signing of talented winger Yakeen Muteheli from Ulinzi Stars FC.
Muteheli signed a two-year contract with the Brewers as they continued rebuilding the team ahead of the 2025/26 season. Muteheli, known for his pace, creativity, and work ethic on the flanks, brings added depth and flair to the Brewers’ attack ahead of the upcoming season.
He showed his prowess with the military side last season, where he was directly involved in 10 goals, scoring five and assisting a similar number. Okere said he is excited about the arrival of the 26-year-old winger, who will add depth and competition to the team’s attack.
“Yakeen is a dynamic and intelligent player who will undoubtedly add value to our team. His ability to take on defenders and deliver in the final third is something we’ve been keen to add. We are pleased to have him on board,” the coach said.
Muteheli, who was also called up to Kenya’s preliminary squad for the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN), expressed his excitement ahead of a new challenge. “I’m honoured to join a club of Tusker’s stature. This is a great opportunity for me to grow as a player and contribute to the team’s goals. I’m looking forward to giving my best and helping bring success to the club,” he said.
The winger has previously played for Lirhembe Arsenal and Vickers FC. Muteheli is Tusker’s fourth signing in the current transfer window. Other new arrivals are striker Eric Kapaito, who returned to the Brewers from Tanzania’s Namungo, right back Eugine Ikutwa (Bidco), and midfielder Vincent Otieno (Nairobi City Stars).
The club had promoted striker David Polepole and defender George Odhiambo from their youth team. Tusker has parted ways with nine players.
They include John Byamukama, James Kibande, Luke Namanda, David Odoyo, Boban Zirintusa, Deogratious Ojok, Mike Oduor, and Lawrence Luvanda will all leave with their contracts expiring. Defender Yussuf Mainge will also leave after his season-long loan spell from Police FC.
