Ouma comes in as a like for like replacement for Sven Yidah who moved to South Africa recently and will don jersey number 18, previously worn by the combative midfielder.

FKF Premier Leagues side Nairobi City Stars have confirmed the capture of Migori Youth defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma as their second signing in the current transfer window.

City Stars are filling in the voids left by the 13 players who parted ways with the club earlier as they step up preparations for the upcoming season, with Ouma being the second player to be unveiled at the club after Newton Ochieng.


The 22-year-old joins Simba wa Nairobi on a one-year deal and is already chuffed up following the move.

“It’s an honor to join this great football club. I have worked so hard to get this chance, and now that I’m here, I want to push myself even further. I choose to join City Stars because currently, it’s the best club in the country. There will be a lot of work to do but I firmly believe that, under this great management, the technical bench together with my team-mates, we can do it,” he said as quoted on the club's portal.

Upon joining the Premier League side, Ouma has thanked his former side for according him the opportunity but believes it was about time for him to try a different and more challenging environment.

“I want to thank my former club Migori Youth, and their fans for the platform they gave me in the past few years, and for all the support and understanding they gave me. I had an unbelievable time there but feel the moment was right to sample another level and environment. Now I’m at the perfect club to do this,” he added.


Ouma is one of the five players who have left the NSL side, the others being attacking midfielder Ben Stanley and winger Lucky Musyoka who have both joined 2009 champions Sofapaka FC, with striker Clinton Okoth joining four-time champions Ulinzi Stars and Tyson Omondi, a central defender, being roped in by Kariobangi Sharks.
