Nondies RFC have bolstered their squad following the conclusion of the mid-season transfer window, with Barnabas Owuor and Lamec Ambetsa headlining a busy recruitment drive by the Rangers.
According to the Kenya Rugby Union transfer list, Owuor has joined Nondies on a loan deal from Strathmore Leos. The move comes after an impressive run in the shortened game, where he enjoyed a strong 7s season with the Leos, while also being a consistent presence in their 15s setup over recent seasons.
His arrival adds depth and dynamism to the Nondies forwar as the club targets a strong second half of the campaign.
Ambetsa, meanwhile, has completed a loan move from Kabras Sugar RFC, bringing with him vast experience at the highest level of local rugby.
