Women's Premier League side Vihiga Queens are beefing up their squad ahead of
the 2024/25 season, as they aim to reclaim the league title.
Speaking to Citizen Digital, club's head coach Boniface Nyamunyamu said that
there is a possibility of several players leaving the camp to join other clubs,
adding that the technical team will have to make replacements for any
departure.
Queens, a giant in the KWPL,
could not keep pace with newly minted champions, Police Bullets, who shot all
out of their way in a march to the league glory and Queens believe that a
rebuild could hand them the ammunition to match the law enforcers next term.
"We will recruit new players
because some of our players may not be with us next season. The right time to
gauge the players that we have identified is when we are back in
training," he said.
However, Nyamunyamu emphasized
that there is no single player who has officially left the outfit, denying
information circulating online pointing to the exodus of players.
"We have seen in the media
players being unveiled elsewhere without our knowledge, that's not official.
There is a process to follow before releasing a player. Some of them have
friends in Nairobi, it could be a case of visitation because we are in the
break,” he said of the alleged exit of Emily Morang'a and Ann Moraa to Police Bullets.
Queens won the 2023 FKF Women's
Premier League title but finished second in just the concluded campaign behind
champions Kenya Police Bullets.
