Nairobi City Stars coach Nicholas Muyoti is over the moon after the signing of budding midfielder James Mazembe and striker Levis Okello.
Mazembe and Okello have been signed on loan from KCB and Kakamega Homeboyz respectively until the end of the season.
Joining the duo is budding central midfielder Abuyeka Kubasu from Division One side Vapour Sports.
The trio joins the recently signed FC Talanta pair of forward Dennis Oalo and midfielder Vincent Owino, and the returning center-back Salim Shitu Abdalla—taking the number of players recruited so far to six in the month-long mid-season window that shut on Monday this week.
Speaking on the latest acquisitions, head coach Nicholas Muyoti said: “Mazembe and Okello will give us the much-needed punch up front. Our attack during the first leg was of great concern but with the arrival of the two, I am confident things will change for the better.”
He added: “Abuyeka is very promising and versatile. He has been training with us for the last three months and he now has his chance to grace the big stage. He gives us an added option in midfield. He is one for the future.”
Speaking after signing his contract, Okello said: “Now that I am here, I will put in the right gear and rally my new teammates so that the team can rise from the unfamiliar position we currently find ourselves in.”
On his part, Mazembe said: “I am happy to join one of the best clubs in the country. I will work hard to earn as much playtime as possible so that I can help the team improve their fortunes in the league.”
Abuyeka noted: “I am more than grateful for getting this chance. I wish to make the most out of it and prove myself.”
Nairobi City Stars confirmed the release of four players including center-back Elly Kessy Osotsi and winger Daniel Odhiambo, both of who joined Kibera Black Stars, striker Vincent Otieno Okoth aka Jamaica ( Darajani Gogo) and midfielder Oliver Maloba.
