Uganda Cranes striker Muhammad Shaban has completed his move to Kenyan side Nairobi United FC.
The experienced forward joins Nairobi United as a free agent following his departure from Kitara FC, where he spent a short spell after joining the Hoima-based side in February 2026.
Shaban opted to leave Kitara at the conclusion of the season and has now embarked on a new chapter in Kenyan football.
At Nairobi United, he will link up with fellow Ugandans Mustapha Kizza, Charles Waibi, Titus Ssematimba and Gavin Kizito, who was officially unveiled by the club early this month.
Shaban has built a career that has seen him play both in Uganda and abroad. He rose to prominence during his impressive spell at Onduparaka FC before going on to feature for some of Uganda’s biggest clubs, including Vipers SC and KCCA FC.
The striker has also had spells outside Uganda, featuring in Libya and Ethiopia, while his career has included a stint with Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca.
At one point, Shaban was also close to joining Kenyan giants Gor Mahia, although the proposed move did not materialise.
His experience across different leagues and his time with the Uganda Cranes now adds another dimension to Nairobi United’s attack as the club continues to strengthen its squad.
Shaban joins a growing Ugandan contingent at the Kenyan club and will be expected to use his experience to help Nairobi United compete at the highest level of Kenyan football while pursuing its long-term ambitions, including a return to continental competition.
