FOOTBALL Done deals: Confirmed FKF Premier League transfers for all 18 clubs

AFC Leopards lead busy FKF Premier League transfer window, while Gor Mahia and Shabana strengthen squads for the upcoming season

In a whirlwind of activity during the pre-season transfer window for the 2023/24 FKF Premier League, AFC Leopards emerged as the most active club, making significant acquisitions and reshaping their squad.

The window, which closed on Friday, September 15, 2023, witnessed a flurry of transfers across Kenyan football, with AFC Leopards leading the charge by bringing in 19 players and executing strategic exits.

AFC Leopards, one of the most storied clubs in Kenyan football history, made significant moves in their quest for success in the upcoming season. 

Notable among their signings are Brian Yakhama from FC Talanta, Kevin Kimani from Wazito FC, and Luke Namanda from Musanze FC in Rwanda. 

However, what truly caught the eye was AFC Leopards' capture of six players from Nzoia Sugar. This includes Vincent Mahiga, Bonface Kweyu, Hassan Beja, Humphrey Katasi, Randy Bakari, and Yasin Sije Ouru. 

While the club strengthened its ranks significantly, they also trimmed their squad, releasing five players to various destinations.

 Peter Ng'ang'a found his way to Posta Rangers, Robert Mudenyu moved to Murang'a Seal FC, and Eugene Mukangula embarked on a journey with Shabana FC. 

Additionally, Erick Mbithi joined Nairobi United, while Dan Sunguti returned to the AFC Leopards Youth FC, further fine-tuning the team's composition.

Across town, their arch-rivals Gor Mahia FC embarked on an ambitious spree of their own. Underlining their intentions for the upcoming season, Gor Mahia welcomed a host of new talents to their ranks. 

Some of the notable additions include Kevin Simiyu from Nzoia Sugar FC, Rooney Onyango from Elite Falcons FC in the UAE, and Alvin Ochieng from FC Talanta. These signings are expected to bolster the club's campaign and make them a force to be reckoned with in the league.

Shabana FC, a club with a rich history and ambitious goals, also made substantial moves in the transfer market. 

Notable signings for Shabana FC include Rodgers Aloro from Bandari FC, Mark Okola from Vihiga United FC, and Prince Ayeko from Nzoia Sugar FC. 

While AFC Leopards, Gor Mahia, and Shabana FC grabbed the headlines with their transfer activity, other clubs in the FKF Premier League also made strategic moves to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.

Nzoia Sugar FC came in second in terms of activity, bringing in 18 players from various clubs, including Green Commandos, Tusker, and Bidco United. This comprehensive approach is aimed at rejuvenating their squad.

It was Kenya Police FC who opted for a more measured approach, securing the services of four players: Tyson Otieno, Kenneth Muguna, Rashid Toha, and Tito Okello.
