Ian Simiyu chuffed after joining Tusker, talks up ambitions

Newly signed Tusker FC midfielder Ian Simiyu has expressed his excitement after sealing a move from the National Super League side Nzoia Sugar FC to the FKF Premier League giants.

The talented ace, who had been a key figure for Nzoia, signed a two-year contract with the Brewers on Monday, marking a significant milestone in his career as he starts new life with the Ruaraka-based giants.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, Simiyu says he’s eager and wants to make the most of his opportunity at his new club, after leaving the NSL as a top scorer with 13 goals. The midfielder further shared his ambitions of playing abroad, stating that his move to Tusker is a crucial step towards achieving that dream.

"I'm very happy to join Tusker. It's a big club with a strong winning mentality, and I believe this is the right place for me to grow as a player," Simiyu said. "I will work even harder to ensure I contribute to the team’s success and hopefully earn a chance to play internationally."

Simiyu also took a moment to appreciate the support he received from Nzoia FC fans during his five-year stay at Sudi stadium.

 Having been a core member of the team, he built strong bonds with the supporters and teammates, making his departure bittersweet.

"I want to sincerely thank the Nzoia FC fans for always standing by me. Their unwavering support meant a lot, and I will forever be grateful for the moments we shared," he added.

His move comes at a time when the Brewers are reinforcing their squad in a bid to challenge for the FKF Premier League title. Tusker are neck and neck with Police FC in the title race at the summit of the league standings.
