    Defensive midfielder Ronney Kola Oyaro, 20, is the latest arrival at Nairobi City Stars.

    Kola makes the big leap from lower tier side Kenya School of Government (KSG), a club that made the semis of the Nairobi region Chapa Dimba na Safaricom finals held in February 2020 at Jamhuri High School.

    Kola becomes the third signing at Simba wa Nairobi in the current transfer window after Rowland Makati from Vapor Sports and Timothy Ouma from Laiser Hill Academy.

    The three are the fresh entrants to a band of five developmental players being roped in for the upcoming season.

    “Ronny has very impressive midfield defensive qualities that our scouts noted while he was playing at Chapa Dimba,”

    “He is a good addition to our setup and we are now giving him a platform to further develop his skills at City Stars. We welcome him on board.” said team coordinator Samson Otieno

    Speaking soon after his unveiling, Rooney said;

    “It has been my dream to feature for a big club and it therefore excites me to join City Stars,”

    “First is to thank KSG for nurturing my skills over time and I want to make full use of the chance granted to me by City Stars to up my game to the highest level. I thank them for handing me this rare opportunity.”
