Thika United FC is holding a 3-day trials for possible new signing beginning today the 4^th January 2018 in their BAT training grounds.

According to their official website, Head coach Nicholas Muyoti has specified that his technical bench will only set out to strengthen two areas striking and defending.

“We mainly suffered in our finishing in our previous season and we have invited a number of players who will try out with us for a few days then make our decisions. We are seeking to strengthen our defense since two or three defenders will be leaving us,” said Muyoti.

He clarified that the Milkmen are not open to any player wishing to join them but will give a chance to only those for trials due to the limited period ahead.

“We plan to work with a manageable number of 26 to 27 players next season.”

Thika United is expected to sign in about six new players with about an equivalent number expected to leave.

Thika United survived in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) this season by a whisker having finished at position 16 and forcing a nail biting playoffs with Ushuru FC to secure a place in the 2018 edition.

The KPL 2018 season is scheduled to kick off in first weekend of February 2^nd 2018, with Thika United slated to host Kakamega Homeboyz on Monday 5^th February, in their first match at Thika Sub-County Stadium.
