Timothy Noor Ouma has completed a move to the Swedish professional football club IF Elfsborg.

Ouma joins the side from FKF Premier League side Nairobi City Stars and has signed a contract that runs through the 2026 season.

The teenager is eager to meet his new teammates having arrived at the Borås-based side on Tuesday.

“It feels fantastic to be here! Everything is new to me – but the arena and the surroundings here are very good. Now I’m looking forward to meeting my new teammates,” he told the club’s media.

“I have seen a few matches Elfsborg played and think it looks good. I have always wanted to play in Europe and like the team’s style of play. I am impressed by the players, and think I will fit in well here, he added.

The 18-year-old started his career at Laiser Hill Academy. He was then signed by Nairobi City Stars where in the past season he netted seven goals and bagged eight assists in 29 appearances.

He will don jersey number 16 and he dreams to cement his position as soon as possible.

“I am good at holding, controlling and distributing the ball. My personal goal is to take a place in the starting eleven as quickly as possible,” he revealed.

IF Elfsborg tactician Stefan Andreasson said Ouma is a player that they have tracked for a while and they are happy to have landed his signature.

“Timothy is a player that we have followed for a long time and that we are now very happy to welcome to IF Elfsborg. After a good dialogue with Nairobi Stars and a strong desire from Timothy to come to IF Elfsborg, Timothy is now being bought off from Nairobi Stars and has signed a contract valid until the 2026 season. Now we look forward to continuing to develop him as a player and person,” he stated.
