After his heroics for Harambee Stars, Mohammed Bajaber is returning to league action with Kenya Police who are in thrilling title race with Gor Mahia and Tusker.

Harambee Stars midfielder Mohammed Bajaber is now turning his attention to league football after making a significant impact on Kenya’s 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Kenya Police FC midfielder was one of only five locally based players selected by head coach Benni McCarthy for the 23-man squad, Bajaber seized the opportunity to shine on the international stage.

Coming on as a second-half substitute, he made an immediate impact, scoring a vital goal that sparked Kenya’s comeback.

His strong performance in that match earned him a starting spot in the subsequent qualifier against Gabon at a packed Nyayo Stadium, where 30,000 fans witnessed the young midfielder showcase his talent on home soil.

With the international break behind him, Bajaber swiftly resumed training with Kenya Police FC as they continue their push for the FKF Premier League title.

Speaking to fans ahead of Kenya Police's clash with Tusker, he urged them to turn up for the team’s upcoming match.

“And as for the Police fans, I’d like to encourage you guys to come for the game on Sunday. Yeah,” Bajaber stated as he rejoined his club on Monday.

At the time of writing, Kenya Police FC sits at the top of the FKF Premier League table with 45 points, closely followed by Tusker (44 points) and defending champions Gor Mahia (42 points).

Bajaber is expected to play a pivotal role when his team faces Posta Rangers on Sunday at the Machakos Stadium, as they aim to solidify their lead in the title race.

Since joining Kenya Police from Nairobi City Stars, Bajaber has made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut and netting a brace in the FKF Cup.

With his confidence soaring from a successful international stint, he will be eager to continue his impressive form and help Kenya Police in their pursuit of league glory.
