Kayole Starlets have signed three new players for their team as they prepare for the second half of the season in the women’s football league.
The team has signed a goalkeeper, Sonia Wambui, a striker, Calta Nasambu, and another player, Naomi Nanjala, from the Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars team.
The three players have already signed and started training with the team and will help the team in its quest for better results in the second half of the season.
Before joining Starlets, the three players were playing for Barcelona Ladies SC from Laikipia County, which competes in the National Super League in Kenya.
The trio also played for the All-Stars team that went for a training camp in Spain in last September as guests of La Liga in Huesca, Spain. The team got an opportunity to train and compete in Spain and gain some international experience.
Speaking after joining the team, Naomi said the move is a big step for her.
“I’m happy to be here. I’ve always wanted to play in the Premier League and now I have that chance. Coming in mid-season means I have to work hard and help the team in the remaining matches,” she said.
Sonia also said the opportunity means a lot to her, adding that she is ready to prove herself.
The new signings join other players in the squad who have also come through the Chapa Dimba system, showing how the tournament continues to produce talent for local clubs.
Coach Joshua Sakwa said the additions will strengthen the team as they push for better results.
He noted that grassroots tournaments like Chapa Dimba are playing a big role in spotting and developing young players across the country.
Kayole Starlets are currently sitting seventh on the table and are hoping to climb higher as the season progresses.
