KCB Football Club has made a strategic signing by acquiring defender Amatton Samunya from Ulinzi Stars as part of their squad overhaul ahead of the 2025/26 FKF Premier League season. The highly-rated center-back agreed to a two-year deal, signaling KCB’s ambition to strengthen their defensive line and mount a serious challenge in the upcoming campaign.
Under the guidance of veteran coach Robert Matano, KCB FC has reinforced its squad with several experienced players including Hemphrey Mieno, Gideon Were, Rowland Makati, and Amatton Samunya, showcasing the club’s commitment to building a competitive and balanced team.
