The 27-year-old Mukumu Girls alumnus is set to ink a one-year deal with the Police Volleyball Club.
Sande leaves Prisons after a decorated six seasons where she helped the former Kenya Volleyball Federation women’s league champions lift three consecutive titles from 2018-2021.
She hopes her professional stint in Rwanda will help her hone her skills and cement her position in the Malkia Strikers squad, which boasts an enviable roster of talented attackers.
She recently earned her first Olympic Games ticket, although she did not play a single game in Paris. She has also been in and out of the Malkia Strikers squad since 2022.
Her journey to the top started when she was scouted by legendary former Malkia Strikers coach David Lung’aho during a tournament in Teso in 2017, and she subsequently joined Kenya Prisons.
She then joined the club’s Training College and rose through the ranks before making her bow for the Wardresses in 2018.
Sande will be joined in Rwanda by Wafalme Stars regular attacker Elphas Makuto, who also joins Police Men’s Volleyball Club from Kenya Prisons.
