As the 2024 transfer window comes to a close, Kenyan Premier League clubs have been busy reinventing their squads, aiming for a competitive edge in the upcoming season.

AFC Leopards have signed five new players in the recently concluded transfer window, with Ovella Ochieng, formerly of Richards Bay FC in South Africa, being their final addition.

Alongside him, they brought in Sydney Lokale (FC Saint Eloi Lupopo, Congo DRC), Peter Maker Mabok (Radnicki SM, Serbia), Julius Masaba (Kariobangi Sharks FC), and Samuel Semo Mbaja (Murang’a Seal FC). All of them have already debuted for the club.

Leopards also let go of 11 players, including Emmanuel Lwangu, Owen Mbeya, Christopher Koloti, and Kevin Kimani, who left on loan deals. Among those transferred out are Jafari Owitti, Maxwell Muchesia, and Cliff Nyakeya.

Their archrivals, Gor Mahia, bolstered their squad by signing Alphonce Omija (Dhofar, Oman), Enock Morrison (Asante Kotoko SC, Ghana), Chris Akena (Apollon Pontou FC, Greece), Samuel Kapen (Nairobi City Stars FC), Gedeon Bendeka (Etincelles FC, Rwanda), and Samuel Onyango (Kenya Police FC).

Kenya Police FC made a significant move by signing Zesco United’s all-time leading scorer Jesse Were, as well as Alfred Leku (Kiyovu Sports, Rwanda), Brian Musa, John Samuel Njau, Jackson Irungu (all from Posta Rangers FC), and more.

Tusker FC also strengthened with signings like George Kaddu (Wakiso Giants FC, Uganda), Boban Zirintusa (Biashara FC, Tanzania), and Teddy Dok (Tusker Youth FC), among others.

Several other clubs, including Bandari FC, Kakamega Homeboyz, Kariobangi Sharks, KCB FC, and others, also made key signings and departures, preparing for the FKF 2024/2025 season.
