Profile
Nairobi to Sweden
A defensive midfielder who came through Nairobi City Stars and went to IF Elfsborg, where he grew into a first-team regular.
Czechia and Poland — two titles
Slavia Prague bought him in February 2025, the first Kenyan signed by the Czech champions, and he was part of the squad that took the 2024-25 Czech First League. A loan at Lech Poznań brought the 2025-26 Ekstraklasa title — league medals in two countries in consecutive seasons — and he has since moved on loan to Charlton Athletic in the English Championship.

109 senior appearances, eight goals and 12 Kenya caps.
