New Gor Mahia winger Samuel Kapen has shared his ambitions after signing a two-year deal, with an option for a third year, following his free transfer from Nairobi City Stars.

Kapen, who scored seven goals and provided nine assists during a breakout season with Simba Wa Nairobi, is optimistic that his move to Gor Mahia will help him achieve both personal and team objectives.

Although Kapen was close to joining Gor Mahia last January, negotiations fell through, and the team, then coached by Johnathan McKinstry, chose to pursue Sharrif Musa instead. Now, Kapen’s dream has been realized, and he is fully focused on his goals for the upcoming season. In an interview with the club’s media channels, Kapen expressed his excitement and ambitions.

“It is a big club both in Kenya and Africa. I want to achieve my goals with the club. I want to win many cups with the club,” he said.

“They will not only expect entertainment and joy, but also expect me to bring a winning mentality, which is what I want to bring to the table,” Kapen added.

Kapen is set to make his debut for Gor Mahia in the upcoming CECAFA Kagame Cup. His journey to this point has been challenging.

In his first season in the top flight with Posta Rangers in 2021, Kapen did not meet expectations, which led him to return to the National Super League (NSL) side Kibera Black Stars. Despite these setbacks, Kapen’s determination and current form have brought him to Gor Mahia, where he aims to make a significant impact and help the club achieve success both domestically and in the CAF Champions League.
