“Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of Kenyan international Collins Sichenje from Serbian SuperLiga side FK Vojvodina,” the club said in a statement. “The 22-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club.”
The former AFC Leopards defender becomes the club’s seventh signing of the window following the arrivals of Harry Clarke, Lyndon Dykes, Luke Chambers, Tiernan Brooks, Jayden Fevrier and Conor Coady.
Sichenje started his career with Kakamega High School before moving to Kenyan Premier League side AFC Leopards in September 2019. Following a brief spell in Greece with PAOK B, the centre-back returned to AFC Leopards before joining Swedish top-flight side AIK in 2022.
After spending the 2023/24 campaign on loan with Finnish outfit KuPS Kuopio, he joined FK Vojvodina on an initial six-month loan, with the move made permanent in September 2024 following an impressive start to life in Serbia.
The player has been registered on time and will be hoping to be part of the team that will be playing Queen Park Rangers on Friday.
