Defender Benson Mutonyi is bidding farewell to Kakamega Homeboyz, bringing an end to a 12-year saga with the 2023 Mozzart Bet Cup champions.Though his appearances for the club were few and far between and transfer rumors swirled for years, Mutonyi’s longevity puts him on the list of FKF Premier League’s one-club legends.##NAJAVA_MECA_8261882##With Mutonyi’s departure, Mozzart Sport looks at other long-serving one-club stalwarts who’ve made their mark in the league:James Saruni (Ulinzi Stars)The evergreen goalkeeper has been a fixture at Ulinzi Stars for a staggering 14 years, making him the league’s longest-serving player. Recruited from Mathare United in 2009, Saruni has been a pillar of strength between the posts and was part of the team that won the league in 2010, their last title to date. Recently, he hinted at hanging up his gloves next year:“All indicators point to my retirement next year. I might extend, but the chances are slim. I’ve played in the top tier for more than ten years, and it’s time to step away. I’ll leave the stage a happy player, having won awards and played for the national team. I’ve enjoyed every moment.”Calvin Masawa (Nairobi City Stars)This right-back has been running up and down the wings for Simba wa Nairobi since 2011. Despite tempting offers from other clubs like Posta Rangers and Sofapaka, Masawa has stayed loyal to Nairobi City Stars, donning their blue and white for 13 years and counting. Versatile and crucial to Nicholas Muyoti’s side, he continues to play a key role in multiple positions.FKF General Meeting averts potential FIFA ban amid election disputesErnest Wendo (Gor Mahia)Since joining Gor Mahia in December 2014, Wendo has aged like fine wine and has enviable seven league titles to his name. Despite a reduced role in recent seasons, the midfield enforcer remains a vital cog in Gor Mahia’s midfield and puts in a good shift every time he is called upon.Moses Mudavdadi (Kakamega Homeboyz)Having joined Homeboyz straight out of school in 2013, Mudavdadi is now the team’s captain and a central figure in their squad. Despite tempting offers from Bandari, Gor Mahia, and Leopards, he’s stayed true to Homeboyz’s cause, and it looks like he’ll be ending his career where it all started.Brian Birgen (Ulinzi Stars)The right-back has been a reliable force for Ulinzi Stars since 2014. Not only has he been the club’s go-to right-back, but he’s also had the honor of representing the national team. Though he might be missing from the first leg of next season, don’t be surprised to see him back in action for the second leg.Police midfielder Jackson Macharia aims for FKF Premier League title and CAF Confederations Cup success
