Twinkle president Desmond Boi said that Mwangi would bring vast experience as he possesses an impressive track record in the sports industry.

"He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our club, and we are confident that he will lead us to new heights of success and achievement," Boi said during the unveiling.

"Some of our CEO's contributions to development of hockey include coaching the Kenyatta University hockey team to great success for two successive seasons, founding and providing an unparalleled cocktail of media and sports analysis service through a premier company called HockeyKe, among providing technical support and advice to various Hockey teams in this country," he added.

Twinkle also unveiled the club's new head coach Charity Miller who has been on the touchlines for the six games that the club has played so far this season.

"Our Head Coach has honed her skills in coaching over the years and we are confident that she has the vision, leadership, and expertise to lead our team to new heights of excellence and achievement," Boi added.

Miller will be assisted by the experienced duo Emmanuel Wiswa and Dennis Mwanzo, while Abdul Aziz Yahya Mohamed has been named the club's team doctor.

The four-month-old club has also unveiled a club van which will be used to ferry players to match venues and residential camps.

Twinkle is placed second in the second-tier league and is on course for promotion to the Premier League, having lost only once in their first six matches of the 2022/2023 season.
