Nairobi City Stars have confirmed the acquisition of midfielder Michael Madoya from Tusker FC and Dennis Wanjala, a left-back from Nzoia Sugar for undisclosed periods.Madoya moves to Simba wa Nairobi after he was released by Tusker FC at the end of last season while City Stars had to cough some amount to acquire Wanjala who had been with Nzoia Sugr since 2018.City Stars CEO Patrick Korir was full of praise for Nzoia for the manner in which the negotiations for the left-back were conducted.“Wanjala still had a contract with Nzoia Sugar but, after successful negotiations, he was allowed to leave and join Simba wa Nairobi. We thank Nzoia Sugar for being very professional in the discussions and for having the interest of the player at heart,” he told the club website.He lauded for Madoya for the experience that he will bring into the team’s attack. Madoya, the 2017 KPL MVP has previously played for Zoo FC before moving to Tusker FC.Tusker FC midfielder, Michael Madoya, Nzoia Sugar FC left back Dennis Wanjala and Mathare United central defender Lennox Ogutu have joined Nairobi City Stars#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/1NNlzm3nUc— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) September 18, 2021 “Madoya joins in after being freed up by Tusker and, we believe, given his experience, will add the right punch upfront,” he added.“He now links up with his former Zoo FC teammate Kipkirui. The two had a lethal combination back in the 2017 season for Zoo and a revisit of that partnership played a big part in his acquisition.” Added KorirWanjala will don jersey 26 that belonged to Bolton as Madoya settles for his preferred jersey number 5.Meanwhile Kevin Okumu has returned to the club permanently. The right-back, who had moved to Wazito at the start of last season made a loan back to Simba wa Nairobi during the mid-season window, a move that has now been made permanent. ##EDITORS_CHOICE##
