Kenya’s national football team Harambee Stars defender Collins Sichenje has completed a move to the London-based English Championship League side Charlton Athletic.
The 22-year-old centre-back has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Addicks, from Serbian SuperLiga outfit FK Vojvodina.
Charlton confirmed the signing on their official platforms, with Sichenje becoming their seventh acquisition of the transfer window
The Kenyan international joins a list of notable arrivals that includes Harry Clarke, Lyndon Dykes, Luke Chambers, Tiernan Brooks, Jayden Fevrier and experienced ex-Liverpool defender Conor Coady.
“We’re delighted to sign Collins,” Rodwell said. “He’s a player we’ve been tracking for a long time and was originally budgeted to join us this summer as part of our multi-window strategy to move the club forward. We’re pleased that the opportunity arose for him to join us earlier than we expected.”
He began his career at Green Commandos before earning a move to Kenyan Premier League giants AFC Leopards in 2019.
