Kakamega Homeboyz unveil new signings for title push

Among the new arrivals are striker Ibrahim Joshua and defender Charles Momanyi from Tusker, and former Gor Mahia assistant captain Geoffrey Ochieng.

Homeboyz finished sixth last season with 49 points, 20 behind champions Gor Mahia.

Team Manager Boniface Imbenzi says the recruits will add quality and experience as the club looks to challenge for higher honours this season.

“Ibrahim Joshua is a striker we signed from Tusker on a two-year contract. Omole, the same—signed on a two-year contract.

“There's also Charles Momanyi, who was previously here at Kakamega Homeboyz, which is where we nurtured him. He went on to play for Gor Mahia and Tusker,” he said.

“He plays in defence as a central defender and signed a two-year contract as well.”

“Then there's Ochieng Simidi (Geoffrey Ochieng) from Gor Mahia too, who was the captain at Gor; he also plays defense at left-back. So those are a few of the players we've signed,” added Imbenzi.

Imbenzi has also confirmed that the team released some players to join other teams while others had to leave to pave way for new signings

“We had players who left our club to seek greener pastures with other teams after receiving good offers, and the players decided to leave.

Some of them still had active contracts, while others had contracts that had expired.

So, we allowed those who wanted to leave to go by mutual agreement,” said Imbenzi.

Homeboyz who won the FKF Cup 2023, finished sixth on 49 points, 20 behind champions Gor Mahia and are still hunting for their maiden league title since their promotion from National Super League.
