    Towering stopper Elly Kessy Osotsi has joined Nairobi City Stars from third-tier side Kangemi All-Stars for the 2022-23 FKF Premier League season.

    In joining Simba wa Nairobi, the six-foot-four lad joins the backline department that was left with only Kenedy Vidic Onyango and Edwin Malebo Buliba following departures at the end of last season.

    “I am very happy and humbled to join Simba Wa Nairobi. I am eager to learn from the experienced players and the exceptional technical bench and add to what I have to become a top player,”

    “I am also determined to achieve my goals not only to mention getting a National team call up.” added Osotsi

    Elly will don jersey number 4 which was vacated by Salim Shitu Abdalla.

    He’s been active in pre-season featuring in eleven of 18 games played. Besides his defensive duties, he provided one assist as he went on to clock a total of 809 minutes.

    He is one of the arrivals for the new season besides Samuel Kapen, Clifford Ouma, Newton Ochieng, Andrew Kisilu, Kelvin Etemesi, Daniel Odhiambo, and Pius Omachi.

    Kelvin Etemesi: from Kangemi All Stars to City Stars

    Utility forward Kelvin Etemesi Injili has joined Nairobi City Stars from third-tier side Kangemi All-Stars for the 2022/23 FKF Premier League season.

    Etemesi plugs into virtually all positions up front and will provide coach Nicholas Muyoti with extra options.

    “Joining City is a dream come true for me. I had been following Timothy Ouma who was my mirror, and he always encouraged me that someday I will play in the top flight,”

    “Here I am. I am ready to work to achieve my goals and help the team,” said Etemesi

    Etemesi has been in the Simba wa Nairobi ranks since August 2022 and has gone on to score four times and provide one assist from 13 games played.

    Etemesi inherits jersey number 20 which belonged to Ouma who moved to Swedish top-tier side IF Elfsborg.

    Other than Etemesi, the other new arrivals include; Samuel Kapen, Clifford Ouma, Newton Ochieng and Andrew Kisilu.

  • Friendly fire: City Stars ties Kangemi, beats Naija boys, again

    Friendly fire: City Stars ties Kangemi, beats Naija boys, again

    A Mohammed Isaku goal in the 84th allowed Kangemi United to escape with a point during a friendly game played at the Vapor Sports ground on Friday 19 November 2021.

    Isaku’s goal canceled out an early Charles Otieno fifth-minute goal off an assist by right-back Kevin Chumsy Okumu.

    In the second game at the same venue, City Stars once again hit Naija Boys 3-0 to replicate a similar score registered when the two sides met in the preseason at Camp Toyoyo.

    Kenedy Vidic Onyango powered in a header off a Peter Pinchez Opiyo corner in the 24th minute for the opening goal.

    Ezekiel Odera added a second at the onset of the second half off a delivery by left-back Dennis Wanjala.

    Recently capped teenager Timothy Ouma, fresh from being fielded in 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Uganda and Rwanda, provided an assist at the death, for his sibling Elvis Noor Ojiambo to drill the final nail to the Naija Boys coffin.

    The two latest friendlies follow on two others at the same venue last Friday where City Stars registered 5-0 and 7-0 over Juve FC and Black Boots.

    All the friendlies are to keep the team focused before the resumption of the league in due course.
