Currently on the books of KCB FC, he remains one of the most battle-tested right-sided players in the Kenyan Premier League.
For KCB fans, Chumsy brings reliability and balance. He defends with discipline, overlaps with purpose, and never hides when the game gets tough. His experience across the league, having featured for Kariobangi Sharks, Young Rovers, Wazito FC, and Nairobi City Stars, shows every time he steps onto the pitch. That maturity earned him a well-deserved Harambee Stars call-up under Benni McCarthy for CHAN 2025.
For Gor Mahia fans, Chumsy is a name you respect, one of those opponents who understands big-game pressure, keeps his head, and can punish lapses on the right flank. A player who fits the profile K’Ogalo admire: aggressive when needed, calm on the ball, and tactically aware.
