Kenyan international midfielder Kenneth Muguna is officially a Kenya Police player.
The development, announced by the FKF Premier League club early Friday morning, indicates that the 27 year old, who was a free agent, officially penned a contract with the club after completing his medicals.
The length of the contract was however not indicated.
“Kenyan international Kenneth Muguna has officially penned down a contract with the biggest club in Africa after completing his medical,” the club wrote on Friday.
The move for Muguna hence becomes Francis Baraza’s first signing at the club and the first of many names expected to come through the door this offseason.
Multiple sources close to the club have indicated serious interest in snapping up Kariobangi Sharks midfielder Tyson Otieno, with all indications pointing to the fact that the deal will be completed in a few days’ time.
On signing for Police, Muguna said: “I know how amazing it feels to win and what it takes to do it.”
Muguna became a free agent early June, announcing his departure from his former club Azam FC – that finished third in the recently concluded 2022-23 Tanzanian Premier League season – thereby marking an end to his two-year stay at the club he joined in July 2021.
“It was a great experience, I enjoyed those 2 years #AdiosAzam,” he wrote then.
His stay in Tanzania teetered close to the end as he struggled to get playing time and was dropped from the matchday squad that saw Azam fall to Yanga SC by a solitary goal in the final of the Azam Sports Federation Cup.
A return to the FKF Premier League, despite speculation over his future – that saw him linked heavily with Simba SC – could mark a new lease of life for the former Gor Mahia player.
In his last season in the FKFPL two years ago, Muguna was involved in 18 goals, scoring five times and setting up 13 other goals.
12 of the goal contributions came in the league, and six came in the FKF Cup where he was named the best player.
In 2016, Muguna had a stellar season with Western Stima, culminating with him being crowned the MVP, named the best midfielder, and was the runners-up in the New Player Of The Year category before crossing over to Gor Mahia the next season.
At Kenya Police, the depth of talent will be overwhelming; with the middle of the park specifically loaded with big talents including; former teammate Francis Kahata and Duke Abuya.
