Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has spoken about the contract situation of experienced defender Robinson Kamura whose deal has expired
Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula says the club is ready to move on without defender Robinson Kamura.
The experienced defender has left the club following the expiry of his contract and will be available as a free agent in the midseason transfer window.
Kamura joined Homeboyz on a one-year deal back in 2022 and was a key member of Patrick Odhiambo’s team as they won the FKF Cup which earned them a place in the CAF Confederations Cup.

However, efforts to agree fresh terms with the former AFC Leopards captain appear to have been unsuccessful, leading to his departure.

“The coach will decide if he needs him or not. There are many players in Kenya whom we can sign. It is up to the coach to make that decision.”

“There has not been an agreement regarding a new deal for him,” said Odhiambo. “I would like to keep him because he is a good player but there must be an agreement with the club.”
“He has not been training with us until his situation is resolved. If that happens, then he will have his mind and body in the field,” he added.

FKFPL Police FC chairman outlines ambitious plan for transforming Kenya's 'PSG'
Kenya Police FC chairman is determined to lead the club to glory in the 2023/2024 Football Kenya Federation season.
Kamura has not been featuring in recent matches for Homeboyz due to an injury with Odhiambo partnering Brian Eshihanda and Portipher Odhiambo at the heart of his team’s defence.
It appears that is how it will continue until at least the midseason window although Homeboyz also have John Otieno and George Odiwuor as options to call upon in defence.
Kamura left Leopards in 2021 in acrimonious fashion after falling out of favour with former head coach Patrick Aussems who stripped him of the captaincy.
