KCB Football Club has caught the attention of fans with a cheeky yet heartwarming announcement involving an unexpected “signing.” The club initially revealed it had secured the services of “English international midfielder Charles Baxter,” sparking a wave of curiosity online. However, the reveal quickly took a delightful turn.
Charles “Charlie” Baxter is not a professional footballer, but a 20-year-old University of Nottingham student and a passionate KCB FC supporter based in the UK. According to the club, an Instagram exchange between Baxter and the team led to him being invited to attend a training session in Kenya, a gesture aimed at showing him how the club operates on a professional level.
“He was really impressed,” KCB FC shared in their social media post, adding a playful twist to the story. “Got you in the first half, right?”
The visit highlights the growing reach and emotional bond of Kenyan football beyond national borders. KCB FC celebrated Baxter’s commitment with the phrase, “LionHearted across continents from Kenya to the UK,” marking the occasion as a symbol of the club’s expanding fanbase and cultural impact.
While not an official signing, the encounter served as a powerful reminder of how football continues to bridge continents, connect people, and inspire loyalty in unexpected ways.
