Two young prospects, Rowland Makati and Ronney Kola, will join second-tier side Nairobi Stima FC on loan for the first part of the 2020/21 season, commencing mid-November 2020.
The pair were identified during the Chapa Dimba Nairobi regional finals held at Jamhuri High School before securing moves to the club from lower-tier sides Vapor Sports (Makati) and Kenya School of Government (KSG) (Kola).
The loan move is aimed at providing the duo with valuable match experience and aiding their development.
“Following recommendations from Head Coach Sanjin Alagić, the two players will join Nairobi Stima to gain competitive experience,” said Team Coordinator Samson Otieno.
“The coach believes their growth will benefit from regular game time in the NSL, which offers a strong platform for development given their progression from lower leagues,” he added.
Head Coach Sanjin Alagić also expressed confidence in the players’ potential:
“The two are quality players with a bright future. After a season in the NSL, we expect to reintegrate them into the squad as we prepare them for Premier League football.”
Both Makati and Kola joined Simba wa Nairobi in the offseason on long-term contracts.
