Harambee Stars defender Collins Sichenje has described his move to English Championship side Charlton Athletic as a big step in his career.
The center half joined the Addicks on a three-and-a-half-year deal on deadline day and in his first interview admitted that he can’t wait to get started.

“It feels amazing to be here. It’s a good club with a good project and I’m ready to start working. It’s a big step for my career. It’s a good opportunity to keep working, developing and help the team, so I just need to be humble and keep working – that’s the goal,” the defender told the club’s media team.
On his side. The club’s Managing Director James Rodwell commented: “We’re delighted to sign Collins. He’s a player we’ve been tracking for a long time and was originally budgeted to join us this summer as part of our multi-window strategy to move the club forward. We’re pleased that the opportunity arose for him to join us earlier than we expected and are grateful to the ownership for their support in enabling us to bring him to the football club at this stage.”

Manager Nathan Jones added: “We’re thrilled to add Collins, who is a defender that we’ve been tracking for a long, long time. He’s an aggressive, front-footed centre-back who is only 22 years of age, so he’s one that can grow with us and one that we’re excited to be welcoming to the football club.”
Sichenje who made his Harambee Stars debut against South Sudan in March 2021 has scored a goal in his eight appearances for the national team. He scored the same number of goals for Vojvodina in his 52 appearances and will be hoping to get his debut this Friday against Queens Park Rangers.
