Vihiga United target FKF-PL promotion next season

Vihiga United head coach Mike Mururi is already planning for next season for another swing at promotion into the FKF Premier League after a dismal campaign in the second-tier.

Vihiga are eleventh on the National Super League (NSL) standings with 44 points, a point behind SS Assad with one round left until the end of the season.

Lack of the financial muscle to hold on to their best players has seen forward Luke Namanda and Lawrence Luvanda move on to FKF-PL champions Tusker FC while midfield star Stewart Omondi joined KCB.

Mururi added the club is not in a position to sign new talent due to similar financial constraints.

“Currently we aren’t signing any new players because we simply don’t have the money to do so. Talent is expensive to acquire and even more so to keep and that’s why some of our best players have had to leave for greener pastures,” Mururi said.

Vihiga were relegated to the NSL during the 2018/19 season and host coastal side SS Assad in their final game of the season in Kakamega.
