MOFA announce Amunike, Brian arrival as promotion push intensifies

Promotion-chasing Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA FC) has strengthened its squad as the battle for a place in the top flight intensifies, announcing the signings of Nairobi City Stars striker Joshua Amunike and experienced midfielder Steve Brian.

Amunike joins the White Rhinos from City Stars after an impressive spell that yielded eight goals and two assists.

The forward adds proven firepower to an already competitive MOFA attack, giving the technical bench more cutting edge as the club pushes to secure automatic promotion.

His arrival is seen as a major statement of intent as MOFA looks to turn chances into crucial points in the business end of the season.

Also joining the White Rhino herd is midfield dynamo Steve Brian, who makes the move from Naivas FC.

Known for his composure and leadership in the middle of the park, Steve brings valuable experience and tactical balance, offering MOFA greater flexibility and stability during high-pressure fixtures.

His presence is expected to enhance ball circulation and provide a steady link between defence and attack.

MOFA currently sits third on the log with 32 points and occupies one of the coveted automatic promotion slots. However, the top margins remain tight. They trail league leaders Migori Youth by four points and are just two points behind second-placed Mombasa United.

With the promotion race heating up, every result carries weight.

The new signings come at a critical moment following MOFA’s 1–1 draw against Nzoia Sugar, a result that underlined both their resilience and the need for extra sharpness in front of goal.

With several challenging fixtures ahead, depth and quality will be key as the White Rhinos aim to maintain their top-three position.
