Tusker FC raid Ulinzi Stars for the services of winger Yakeen Muteheli

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League outfit Tusker FC have continued with their rebuilding process by announcing the signing of talented winger Yakeen Muteheli from Ulinzi Stars FC on a two-year contract.

Muteheli, known for his pace, creativity, and work ethic on the flanks, brings added depth and flair to the Brewers’ attack ahead of the upcoming season. He showed his prowess with the military side last season, where he was directly involved in 10 goals; scoring five and assisting a similar number.

He becomes the clubs fourth signing ahead of the 2025/26 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) campaign after Vincent Otieno and Eugene Ikutwa and Eric Kapaito. Otieno and Ikutwa completed their move to the Ruaraka-based side from Nairobi City Stars and Bidco United, with Kapaito returning to the team after a sojourn with Tanzania’s Namungo FC.

Tusker coach Charles Okere is excited at the arrival of the 26-year-old winger, who will add depth and competition to the team’s attack. “Yakeen is a dynamic and intelligent player who will undoubtedly add value to our team. His ability to take on defenders and deliver in the final third is something we’ve been keen to add, and we are pleased to have him on board,” Okere told Tusker’s official website.

Speaking after penning his contract, Muteheli, who was also called up to Kenya’s preliminary squad for the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN), expressed his excitement ahead of a new challenge.

“I’m honored to join a club of Tusker’s stature. This is a great opportunity for me to grow as a player and contribute to the team’s goals. I’m looking forward to giving my best and helping bring success to the club,” he said.

The winger has previously played for Lirhembe Arsenal and Vickers FC.
