FKF Premier League newbies Fortune Sacco have roped in five players to beef up the squad ahead of their top-tier debut.The Kirinyaga-based club earned a promotion to Kenya’s top league after finishing second in the second division.

We have a quality team and we are majorly replacing the players that left for other clubs. Otherwise, we have full confidence in our squad and we are looking forward to the start of the new season. The players are excited and I am confident that we are going to perform well in the FKF Premier League,” team manager Peter Mureithi told Mozzart Sport.##NAJAVA_MECA_6606907##Leading the new arrivals is Ziyadi Kiwanuka.
