Kariobangi Sharks youngster Issa Rashid Lumumba is training with Ulinzi Stars with the view of earning a move to the club when the mid-season transfer window swings open on the 27th of February.The defensive midfielder has not featured for Sharks this season and was barely included in the match-day squad. The former St. Anthony’s Boys Kitale captain has now opted to find a new home and hopes he can sign for the Bernard Mwalala-led outfit.##NAJAVA_MECA_7007298##”He is training with us.” “He has not been signed yet, nor has a decision been made on whether to sign him or not, but he is training with the group at the moment before the coaches can make a decision regarding his future,” a source from the military outfit camp told Mozzart Sport.Lumumba joined the Sharks in October 2021 while he was still a student at St. Anthony’s Boys Kitale; he had to transfer to a school in Nairobi so that he could balance playing for his club and studying before he sat for his Form 4 national examinations.Issa lumumba former st Anthony boys high school captain pic.twitter.com/p4I5pEaP3D— silah (@Silahbaba6) May 25, 2022 After completing his studies, he shifted focus to his football, and last season, he got considerable playing time, especially in the second leg. When Patillah Omoto left for Kenya Police FC at the end of the 2021/22 season, Lumumba was expected to step into his shoes, but coach William Muluya appears to have done away with the defensive midfielder position, opting to field Keith Imbali and Fortune Omoto—both attack-minded—in the middle of the park.Should he earn a move to Ulinzi, he will have the hard task of competing with the likes of Francis Omondi, Bernard Ongoma, John Kago, Daniel Waweru, Jacob Onyango, and Churchill Muloma among others for a place in the middle of the park, but he will definitely be encouraged by the growth of Staphod Odhiambo, who has fast established himself at Ulinzi after joining the team at the start of the season from Bondo United.Aussems savors Ingwe’s big win against hapless Talanta
