Football Kenya Federation Premier League debutants Nairobi United have bolstered their squad with the signing of John Njuguna and Roy Okal in the league’s mid-season transfer window.

Confirming the arrival of the recruits on Monday, January 5, 2025, Naibois expressed optimism in the pair as the side seeks stability in local football and continental assignments.

New signings

”Twice the talent, double the threat. We are thrilled to officially announce the double signing of Roy Okal and John Njuguna. Roy joins us from Sofapaka to pull the strings in midfield, while Njuguna brings the fire to our wings,” the club statement read.

The pair arrives at the moment when Nicholas Muyoti’s charges are seeking to retain our Mozzart cup trophy and finish as high as possible in the league standings.

John Njuguna, an attacking midfielder, joins the team from Tusker FC. He is expected to bring a wealth of experience to the team, supplementing the attacking department with goals and assists.

On the other hand, Roy Okal joins the side from 2009 Kenyan Premier League winners Sofapaka FC. The utility man is expected to help anchor Nairobi United’s midfield with his vast experience at the top level, having also played for Mathare United.

Technical bench revamped

Nairobi United’s management has also revamped the technical bench of the team as the league resumes in January 2026 after the holiday break, a move aimed at enhancing tactical input and overall performance ahead of a busy 2026 calendar that includes domestic competitions and continental action.

Among the new arrivals is Boniface Omondi Musa, who joins the team as an assistant coach. Musa is a CAF B licence holder and previously worked with the 2018 FKF Cup winners Kariobangi Sharks. He has also handled former league champions Mathare United and National Super League side Naivas FC.

The Nairobi-based club has also brought on board Sadiq Ambani, another CAF B-certified coach, to serve as assistant coach. Ambani arrives from five-time league champions Ulinzi Stars and has previously been part of the technical setups at reigning champions Kenya Police FC as well as former title holders Tusker FC.

In addition, FIFA-accredited fitness trainer Kevin Kimani has been appointed as the club’s Strength and Conditioning coach, further strengthening the team’s performance department.

Nairobi United started the new year on a positive note after trashing Shabana FC 3-1 in a league fixture staged at Gusii Stadium on Sunday, January 4, 2026.
