KCB FC has bolstered its squad in the January transfer window with the signing of seven new players as the team prepares to bounce back to winning ways in their Sunday’s FKF- premier league clash against Ulinzi Stars away at the Ulinzi Complex.
The seven players are striker Collins Neto from Muhoroni Youth, Lameck Luhangala from Scorpions Musingu, Shadrack Simiyu from Compel FC, Victor Ogendo from Musanze, Henry Onyango from Sharks, Francis Onyango from Bidco and Vincent Ondabu joining from Equity.
Head Coach Bernard Mwalala said:
“We slipped in the last match against Tusker, but it is no excuse. As we take on Ulinzi, a loss or a draw is not what we are envisioning, we are going into the match to grab the three points. We have also strengthened our squad with the additions of fresh blood who will increase our chances of achieving our objectives for the remainder of the season.”

“I am delighted to be back home after my six months spell away at Kariobangi Sharks and I am looking forward to working under coach Mwalala who is a serial winner. The team is stronger with the new acquisitions, and I am optimistic I will get my chance against Ulinzi on Sunday where I am looking forward to scoring on my second debut for the club,”
noted Forward Henry Onyango.
