Kenya Harlequin FC have unveiled their 13-man squad for the 2026 Prinsloo 7s to represent the club at the season-opening National 7s Circuit tournament in Nakuru.
Leading the side is David Mwangi, who has been named captain, while Patrick Wainaina will serve as the vice-captain as Quins look to reclaim the title they last won in 2024.
One of the standout inclusions is KSSSA 15s Championship Most Valuable Player Shakur Nyongesa, who has earned his place in the squad following an outstanding school rugby campaign.
The Upper Hill School student is set to make his senior sevens debut for Harlequin FC and will be among the players to watch at the tournament.
