    Nairobi City Stars paid a courtesy call to Laiser Hill Academy to give back following the signing of one of their alumni Timothy Noor Ouma aka Babu back in 2020.

    Babu has since fitted in well to the Simba wa Nairobi family having improved on his debut season in 2020/21 FKF Premier League to become an integral part of the team.

    “Our connection with Laiser Hill is Timothy Babu Ouma, whom we signed right after the cleared from the establishment in 2020,” said City Stars team coordinator Samson Otieno during the visit

    “Our visit was to hand them a token of appreciation as a way of thanking them for providing us with a great performer. We hope it will encourage the lads still at the shool to follow in Babu’s path,”

    “We will continue engaging with Laiser Hill with a view of tapping into their rich talent base in future.” added Samson

    Tony Kingori, the Dean of Students and Director of Programmes, gave a vote of thanks after the visit:

    “We are very grateful for the kind gesture from the management of City Stars FC. Timothy Ouma has been great revelation of talent from our school to this great club. We won many awards with him and wish him all the best in his future career.” he added

    Thus far, Babu has had an improved season and, from 22 games into the 2021/22 season, has scored four times and provided seven assists and as many pre-assists.

    He has since broken into the National team and has so far clocked two games against Rwanda and Uganda during 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

    Chapa Dimba MVP confirmed at City Stars

    Teenage midfielder Timothy Ouma from Laiser Hill Academy has joined Simba wa Nairobi on a long term deal.

    Ouma, also known as Babu – same as another new signing Rowland Makati – is the reigning Chapa Dimba Rift Valley Most Valuable Player, an accolade bestowed on him in early March 2020 at the Kericho Green Stadium after he led Laiser Hill’s comeback to finish off dreaded Kapenguria Heroes for the regional title.

    During the final, that Laiser Hill went on to win on post match penalties after a 1-1 regular time stalemate, Ouma endeared himself to City Stars coach Sanjin Alagic who witnessed the epic final.

    Prior to the tournament in Kericho, Ouma had been accompanying his sibling Elvis Noor Ojiambo for City Stars training on his school off days.

    “I had been training with City Stars occasionally and I was blown away by the coaches’ approach,”

    “I was asked to return after school and I am more than elated to have been considered and handed a contract ahead of the next season,” said the excited Ouma

    Adding his voice to Ouma’s arrival at the Simba wa Nairobi den was team coordinator Samson Otieno;

    “He proved himself early when he attended our training sessions. Only schooling kept him away from us but he has since concluded his studies and can now focus on football,”

    “His qualities are in no doubt and we believe he will fit in well in the soonest time possible with the rest of the squad. We welcome him onboard. ” added Otieno

    Babu will don jersey no. 20.
