Newly promoted FKF Premier League side, APS Bomet have acquired the services of defender Evans Maliachi on the Bosman Rule.The former Kakamega Homeboyz, Ushuru FC and FC Talanta defender has been a free agent since he got released by the Kakamega-based side in July, and in APS he has found a new home where he will be hoping to kick start his career once again.##NAJAVA_MECA_6615472##At APS, he becomes the club’s second off-season acquisition after Stephen Wakanya. The midfielder, also an ex-Homeboyz player had been linked with a move to Nzoia Sugar FC but made a U-turn and decided to sign for the law enforcers who are coached by his former Chemelil Sugar FC teammate, Charles Odera.On Saturday, APS played Kakamega Homeboyz in a friendly game that was won by last season’s league runners-up. Two goals from new signing Levis Okello who was acquired from Nzoia Sugar helped them to a 2-1 win. APS’s goal was scored by Maliachi as both teams continue with preparations for the new season that starts in three weeks’ time.Coach Odera is happy with the progress his team is making in terms of readiness. He added that the new signings have gelled quickly enough.“These friendlies help our new players to gel well and familiarise with the new ones in the squad. From the way we played against Kakamega Homeboyz and the buildup matches we have had so far, I’m convinced that we are on the right track,” Odera told the Nation.APS Bomet promoted to the FKF Premier League for the first time ever. #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/05TovAK3qK— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) July 13, 2022 Meanwhile, their promotion to the top tier remains in doubt. This is after the Sports Disputes tribunal ruled that they should not be included in the top flight fixtures until a case challenging their promotion is determined.The case was filed by National Super League side, Murang’a Seal who lost the promotion playoff to Wazito FC.
