Weeks after narrowly missing out on the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) title Kakamega Homeboyz are facing a further blow with a number of key players keen on leaving the club on the Bosman rule with their contracts expiring.Some players have already struck deals with other clubs while some are looking for better offers and the Bernard Mwalala-led team will now have to rebuild again in readiness for next season’s campaign that is likely to start after the August polls.##NAJAVA_MECA_6471774##The team’s rough struggles towards the end of the season saw them lose the title to Tusker FC on goal difference. This is after they sat at the helm of the log for almost the entire season while the winners staged a comeback after a very difficult start to the new campaign.Latest reports now indicate that the Kakamega-based side is facing a mini-crisis with a number of players heading for the exit door.Leading the list is last season’s club top scorer David Okoth who has been approached by Ulinzi Stars and other two unnamed clubs, the speedy winger, who found the back of the next 11 times last season is said to have made up his mind and is set to ditch Homeboyz for the second time.Congolese striker Yema Mwana has also declared his intention to leave the club. Yema, who joined the team before the start of the season on a one-year contract scored nine goals for the club and will not renew his deal with the Kakamega-based side.Fans’ Player Of The Season Vote: Who do you think was the most outstanding player during the season?#MozzartBet#wearehomeboyz#AbanaBeingo pic.twitter.com/q972FrJGSs— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) June 19, 2022 Ghanaian midfielder Stephen Opoku and utility player Brian Eshihanda have also been linked with a move away from the club. The two are reportedly being courted by the club’s former coach Nicholas Muyoti of Nairobi City Stars. Eshihanda in particular credits Muyoti for his success as he converted him from a striker to a central defender and has been a mainstay figure at the heart of Homeboyz’s central defence in the just-concluded season.Defender Sylvester Owino’s contract expires in three months’ time and the lanky central defender, who reportedly has offers from outside the country is not going to sign a new deal with the club.
