Club Update

After initially putting him on the transfer list, Kaizer Chiefs and Anthony Akumu Agay have mutually agreed to an early termination of his contract. The contract was set to expire in June 2023.

We wish ‘Teddy’ all the best in his future.

Numerous reports have linked him with a move to Simba SC. The Tanzanian giants were recently dethroned by Yanga FC and will be looking to bolster their ranks effectively ahead of next season.

Should the reports materialise and he ends up joining 'Wekundu Wa Msimbazi,' he will link up with his Harambee Stars teammate Joash Onyango who has become a cornerstone in Simba's defence.
