The Kenya Rugby Fraternity is in grief following the death of KCB Rugby forward Jerry Olola.

The Scrummage has learnt Olola a front-rower, died on Thursday midday while in Hospital where he was undergoing treatment.

His parent club is yet to release a statement on his death but Scrummage understands he was taken to the hospital on Wednesday after he complained of body and toothache.

Editor’s Pick:

Olola was part of the Strathmore Leos squad that finished fourth in the 2021/22 Kenya Cup season having joined Louis Kisia’s charges in January on a loan deal.  He was released to Strathmore Leos in January alongside Maxwell Atera and Stephen Osumba.  They played a key role as the side reached the second consecutive Kenya Cup semi-final.

Olola also played for Kenya Cup side Homeboyz.  He later moved to KCB rugby and has been been part of the squad that has had a successful run in the recent past.
