Victor Mbaoma is on the move again, with Kenyan Premier League side Tusker FC confirming the signing of the Nigerian striker from Remo Stars on a one year contract.
Mbaoma arrives in Nairobi off the back of a productive season in the NPFL, where he scored 14 goals and added four assists for Remo Stars, the reigning Nigerian league champions. His arrival marks Tusker’s first signing of their 2026/27 campaign.
Speaking after the move was completed, the former Akwa United forward said he was delighted to join the club, explaining that the project presented to him by the coaching staff and management played a big role in his decision. He added that he had researched the club’s history and been drawn by the ambition to compete both domestically and in continental competition.
This isn’t Mbaoma’s first taste of East African football. He previously enjoyed a strong spell with Rwandan giants APR, where he finished as the league’s top scorer with 15 goals and helped the club to domestic success, experience that should serve him well as he settles into Kenyan football.
Tusker head coach Julien Mette welcomed the signing, saying he knows Mbaoma well and is confident the pairing will bring good results for the club.
