Fortune Sacco coach Vincent Nyaberi expresses confidence in his 10 new mid-season signings, including Brian Marvin and Nick Kirui, as the team gears up to fight for SportPesa League promotion.

KIANYAGA — With the SportPesa League in his sights, Coach Vincent Nyaberi overhauls his squad, betting on fresh talent to secure the elusive promotion.
The mid-season transfer window has slammed shut, but for Fortune Sacco, the real work has just begun. In the dusty, high-stakes arena of the National Super League (NSL), where dreams of top-flight football are often buried, Coach Vincent Nyaberi has executed a strategic overhaul of his squad. The Kirinyaga-based outfit has emerged from the market with 10 new signings, a clear statement of intent that they are done being the "nearly men" of Kenyan football.
Nyaberi, a tactician known for his pragmatic approach and eye for talent, has wasted no time in integrating his new recruits. Speaking from the team`s training base in Kianyaga, he exuded a quiet confidence. The first leg of the season had exposed glaring fissures in the squad`s depth—weaknesses that opponents had ruthlessly exploited. This recruitment drive was not just about adding numbers; it was a surgical strike to fix specific tactical deficiencies.
Among the headline arrivals is Brian Marvin, a seasoned defender whose resume includes stints at Shabana FC and Murang`a Seal. His experience in the trenches of promotion battles is expected to bring a much-needed steel to the Fortune Sacco backline. Nyaberi knows that in the NSL, defense wins you points when the flair fails.
"We identified the gaps, and we filled them," Nyaberi stated, watching his charges go through their paces. "The second leg is a war of attrition. You need soldiers who have been there." The coach also highlighted the arrival of Nick Kirui from Marafiki FC and Victor Ochieng, formerly of APS Bomet. These are players with points to prove, hungry for the limelight of the Premier League.
The upcoming fixture against MOFA is more than just a game; it is a litmus test for Nyaberi`s project. MOFA has been the surprise package of the season, playing a brand of football that is both attractive and effective. For Fortune Sacco, a win would be a psychological masterstroke, catapulting them back into the conversation for automatic promotion.
The residents of Kianyaga are buzzing with anticipation. They have seen their team come close before, only to falter in the final stretch. But there is a feeling that this time is different. The squad looks balanced, the coach is experienced, and the hunger is palpable. As Nyaberi rallies his troops, the message is simple: the time for excuses is over. The push for the SportPesa League starts now.
In the unforgiving world of the NSL, fortune favors the bold. Nyaberi has made his bold moves in the market; now his players must deliver on the pitch.
