He is a serial goal scorer whose services will add spark in the forward line,” he told Mozzart Sport.From the time Kipkirui set foot in the Homeboyz camp, Odhiambo noted that the rest of the forwards have stepped up and working harder in training.“He brings competition and guidance as well,” he stated.A break from injuries is all what Homeboyz centre back Potiphar Odhiambo craves forApart from Kipkirui, Homeboyz have acquired goalkeeper Simon Masaka from Sofapka with Glen Otunnga joining from the Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA).The club, meanwhile, confirmed the departure of the duo of Faruk Shikalo and centre-back Robinson Kamura who has since joined Tanzanian Premier League side Dodoma Jiji.Midfielder Shami Mwinyi also left Homeboyz a couple of days ago and is expected to ink a deal with Posta Rangers.
