Mboya joined Kibera Soccer Ladies mid-season from National Women’s Super League (NWSL) side Sunderland Samba.
She had honed her skills at Soccer Wizard Academy in Githurai before joining Sunderland, thanks to Sunderland midfielder Faith Kavinya, who noticed her talent and facilitated her move.
“I used to train with men as I didn’t know who to contact to join any club, so when Kavinya approached me, I didn’t hesitate,” Mboya stated.
In her debut for Kibera on January 26, she scored four goals in a 4-1 win over Bungoma Queens. She followed that with a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory against Bunyore Starlets.
In the final match of the season, held at Marist International School in Karen on May 25, Mboya scored five goals in a 7-1 rout of Mombasa Olympic.
“It feels good to be a scorer,” she said.
“If I had joined Kibera earlier in the season, I might have been the league’s top scorer, but we’ll try again next season. It feels good to be among the top scorers, having faced experienced players in the league.
I have learned a lot as a player, and I believe next season will be bigger and better,” added the former Ikalioni Secondary School student from Makueni County.
