He is a very key member of our team not just on the pitch but off it as well. He was a player we could not afford to lose. We look forward to achieving new milestones together.”
The club’s CEO Sam Nzau added; “Kibwage is a key member of the team. Most of the young players look up to him and the leadership he gives in the dressing room is exceptional. He is a pillar of the team we are building and I am excited that he has agreed to continue the journey with us.”
