He said they identified Kuta during preseason-friendly games against Nation FC and KEFWA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut with a full squad, and in a bid to keep him close, the best we could do was recommend him to join Kibera BlackStars with whom we share a training ground. His chance to join us is here and we welcome him to Simba Wa Nairobi,\u201d added Samson<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Nicholas Muyoti said: \u201cWe have been tracking him in the last few months and I have no doubt he will bring the much-needed punch as we head into the tougher and last half of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Kuta, a Business Management (Finance and Accounting) graduate from Moi University, said; \u201cIt\u2019s a great honour to join Nairobi City Stars. I have always rated the club highly and I can\u2019t wait to get down to work with my new teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kuta, whose last Premier League work station was at Western Stima back in 2020, bid Kibera Black Stars goodbye on Saturday during a league game against Silibwet Leons.<\/p>\n<p>He will don jersey no. 29 which was recently vacated by striker Ebrima Sanneh. Kuta got injured in October 2019 when he tore a meniscus on the right knee and was out of action for a whole year.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, City Stars signed budding attacking midfielder Mohammed Bajaber aka Hamudi, 18, on loan from Star Field Academy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
