Swedish club fires back at Harambee Stars defender after his furious bust-up over bench role
Swedish club AIK has responded to the Kenyan international who termed his lack of game time ‘unfair,’ seeming to point the finger of blame at the former AFC Leopards defender.
Sichenje's transition to FK Vojvodina comes after a challenging stint at AIK Solna, where he found game time scarce, making only 12 appearances since his transfer in March 2022.
His limited exposure on the pitch prompted AIK to explore loan opportunities for the 20-year-old, ultimately facilitating his move to Serbia.
The 2008/2009 Serbian Super League runners-up have expressed enthusiasm about adding Sichenje to their squad highlighting his potential impact in the league opener.
Prior to joining AIK, Sichenje showcased his capabilities during a loan spell at Finnish club KuPS in 2023, where he enjoyed a successful season.
His performances there and his versatility in playing both midfield and defense attracted interest from several clubs across Europe, including other teams from Finland and Serbia.
Despite his youth, Sichenje has already made a mark on the international stage being a key figure in the Harambee Stars setup.
