Kenya Commercial Bank women’s volleyball team has ‘over raided’ local rivals as they shop for top notch stars in the transfer market.
KCB have bagged Malkia Strikers middle blocker Edith Wisa from KVF league champions Kenya Prisons together with Africa’s best attacker Sharon Chepchumba from Kenya Pipeline as they eye to lift African Clubs Championship next year.
The two top players signed three-year contracts with an option of extension worth Sh250,000 per month, KB can reveal.
KCB finished second in the play-offs last month and will return to the clubs championship next year.
The bankers look keen to improve on their rankings after finishing at a disappointing ninth position in Egypt earlier in the year.
The two players will join national team trio of hard-hitting attacker Leonida Kasaya, left handed Violet Makuto and Noel Murambi who moved from Pipeline to KCB at the beginning of the year.
KCB has away of breaking the bank to wreck Pipeline, they had poached Jemima Siangu, Truphosa Samoei and Christine Njambi and coach Japheth Munala from the Pipeline.
The soft-spoken middle blocker Wisa confirmed the development saying it was not an easy decision considering Prisons has been her home since she joined the club from Lugulu Girls in 2013.
“I want to thank the technical bench and the players for the chance they gave me. As I move to KCB, I still hold Prisons in high regard and I can only wish them all the best going forward and who knows, maybe our paths might cross in future,” said Wisa.
Chepchumba moved to Pipeline from Prisons in 2018 and was reportedly reluctant to extend her stay at the club till she inked an ‘irresistible’ deal with the bankers.
KCB was also after the signatures of Aggripina Kundu, Middle blocker Gladys Ekaru and setter Esther Mutinda who turned downed their offer. All tjhe three players are from Pipeline.
