Squad22 Oct 2029

15 days out for Ethen Sampson after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Kariobangi Sharks will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Caleb Amuka: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Kariobangi Sharks have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Words exchanged at Kariobangi Sharks

Simon Masaka and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout22 Oct 2029

When it matters, Simon Masaka plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Collins Toko-Ekambi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout22 Oct 2029

Khama Billiat gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market20 Nov 2028

Sammy Kiplangat asks to leave Kariobangi Sharks

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad20 Nov 2028

The season belongs to Ethen Sampson

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Kariobangi Sharks have had the benefit of it.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Ayanda Vete in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kariobangi Sharks this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Ally Salum Omar gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market20 Nov 2028

Kariobangi Sharks and Simon Masaka are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Khama Billiat signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Khama Billiat commits to Kariobangi Sharks for another 3 years.

Market20 Nov 2028

Kariobangi Sharks sign Ryan Tillman, one for the future

Ryan Tillman is 16, and Kariobangi Sharks have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad20 Nov 2028

The formation has left Ryan Tillman behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Kariobangi Sharks will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market20 Nov 2028

Simon Masaka brings the grey hairs Kariobangi Sharks lacked

At 33, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Itumeleng Phiri asks to leave Kariobangi Sharks

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad24 Jul 2028

A move Khama Billiat would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Khama Billiat is living that version at Kariobangi Sharks, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match22 Jul 2028

Ally Salum Omar’s goal not enough for Kariobangi Sharks

Ally Salum Omar scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Ulinzi Stars, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Words at Kariobangi Sharks training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ian Karani is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout24 Jul 2028

Kenneth Omurwa: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Transfer targets24 Jul 2028

Kariobangi Sharks try to borrow Timothy Njeru

Nairobi United have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Kariobangi Sharks sign Khama Billiat, one for the future

Khama Billiat is 18, and Kariobangi Sharks have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Player ratings24 Jul 2028

A costly moment from Mohammed Habib Sarwari

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Kariobangi Sharks, and it is a cruel one.
