Jimmy Mbugua (Tusker FC)

The defender made his debut for Tusker back in February in the Football Kenya Federation Cup against Mihuu United playing at right-back.

His debut came three months after earning his promotion into first-team football and is eager to make his first appearance in the league.

Keegan Ndemi (Bandari FC)

Ndemi joined Bandari after completing high school in 2018 and has had to patiently wait for his chances after being shipped out on loan to Sony Sugar in 2019.

The Barding High School alumnus has featured for Bandari regularly in midfield before the league was brought to a halt.

Daniel Musamali (AFC Leopards)

The midfielder is currently on a season-long loan at Nzoia Sugar after joining Ingwe in 2019 from St. Anthony in Kitale.

Musamali has had impressive performances for Nzoia and has been a vital cog in the Millers wheel as he hopes to break into the AFC Leopards first team next season.

Rodgers Okumu (Nairobi City Stars)

The midfielder signed a two-year deal at the start of the season after jumping ship from Coast Stima to Simba wa Nairobi.

Okumu has played a key role in City Stars return back to the top flight and chipped in a goal in the 2-0 win over Mathare United.

Ambrose Sifuna (Sofapaka)

The forward has grown from strength to strength since making his debut at Soy United and became the top scorer in his first season and helped the team earn promotion to the Nation Super League (NSL) the following season.

He has already opened his account for Sofapaka in the 1-0 win over Nairobi City Stars and is hoping to one day play for Harambee Stars.

Rooney Onyango (Wazito)

The right-back impressed former Harambee Stars head coach Francis Kimanzi who snapped him up in the mid-season transfer window from Gusii United.

Onyango has been preferred by Kimanzi in recent games ahead of former AFC Leopards defender Dennis Sikhayi.

Ibrahim Ochieng (Kariobangi Sharks)

The midfielder made the switch from struggling Kisumu based outfit Western Stima in the mid-season transfer window to Kariobangi Sharks.

With the midfield department at Sharks being competitive Ochieng will be hoping to break into the first time squad with time.

Faraj Ominde (Tusker)

The midfielder needs little introduction after featuring in a number of games for Tusker since joining the side from Chemelil Sugar back in 2018.

Ominde comes from a footballing family with his elder brothers Aziz Okaka and Jaffari Owiti being regulars in the top tier.

Steiner Musasia (Posta Rangers)

The midfielder is a graduate of the famed Acakoro Academy and is now under the stewardship of Stanley Okumbi at Posta Rangers.

The youngster was called up to the Rising Stars squad that represented Kenya in 2020 Under 20 CECAFA championship.

Stephen Otieno (Sofapaka)

The defender was promoted to the Sofapaka senior team back in January 2020 and was summoned to the 34-man provisional team for the friendly match against Zambia last year.

The former Kinyago United defender can also double up as a right-back but has had his 2020-2021 season plagued by injury.
