Kenyan Women’s Premier League (KWPL) side
Zetech Sparks will bolster its squad by signing two new players ahead of next
season.
Speaking to Citizen Digital, Sparks head
coach Bernard Kitolo said they are aiming to acquire a midfielder and a striker
to strengthen the departments he feels have been shaky in just-concluded season.
Kitolo guided his charges in finishing fourth
in the FKF Women’s Cup last week after falling 4-3 in the hands of Kenya Police
Bullets at Police Sacco Stadium, Nairobi.
Ulinzi Starlets won the tournament for the
third time in a row after demolishing Kibera Soccer Ladies 2-1 in the final
match.
In just-ended FKF-KWPL season, Zetech finished
in the seventh position with 17 points, 32 points adrift of winners Police
Bullets as Vihiga Queens and Ulinzi Starlets occupied second and third positions
respectively.
“At some point in the premier league we noted
that we were fighting relegation but we thank God that we survived. My defense
and striking departments seemed to be shaky and that’s why I want to add two
players only to boost the departments,” said Kitolo.
“We have already spotted them but can’t reveal
their identities for now, but it will be known soon after we complete the
deals. We want to win the league next season and as a coach I will not release any
of my players but rather add only the two players,” he added.
Kitolo however hailed Police Bullets for
winning the league as well as finishing the FKF Women’s Cup in third position,
saying his charges are headed in the right direction.
“Police are the FKF Women’s
Premier League champions and it was very difficult to overpower them in the
third-place decider (FKF Women’s Cup). They have good players and for us we just
wish them the very best as they prepare for the Cecafa Club Championship in
mid-August, which will be used as the fourth edition of the CAF Women’s Champions
League qualifiers.”
