Wazito Complete Signing of Mathare United Midfielder

Kenyan Premier League moneybags Wazito FC have completed the signing of Kevin Kimani on a permanent deal.

The 31-year-old midfielder, who spent two seasons at Mathare United, was unveiled by the club on Saturday.

“I was supposed to join the team earlier because it was an anticipated move from a while back and finally it has happened. I am happy to be here,” Kimani told the club website.

“I am here to improve the team in my own way and I am looking forward to working with my new teammates to move the team forward.

“To the fans, they should expect goals and assists from me because that is what I do best,” he added.

Wazito coach Frend Ambani was pleased to capture the signature of the Kenya international, stating that the midfielder brings leadership to the team.

“When you have a young team, you need to throw in some experience and leadership in there. When you have Kim at the club it is a big boost because he is a natural leader who the younger players will definitely look up to,” said Ambani.

“He has performed well in all teams that he has played for and when young players see such a character in the team it motivates them. He is also a top professional.”

The new Wazito signing won the 2011 Kenyan Player of the Year award and becomes the third player to join the club after Vincent Oburu who joined from AFC Leopards and Mark Otieno from Leads United.
