Kakamega Homeboyz forward Boniface Nyabuto has outlined an ambitious personal target ahead of the 2026/27 FKF Premier League season, with the promising youngster setting his sights on finishing as the league’s top scorer.

The former St.Joseph Youth forward enjoyed a dream introduction to the FKF Premier League, featuring in three matches and scoring twice.
His goals against AFC Leopards and Kariobangi Sharks announced his arrival on the big stage and left Homeboyz supporters excited about what lies ahead. Now preparing for his first full campaign with the Kakamega-based outfit, Nyabuto believes the upcoming season presents the perfect opportunity to establish himself as one of the league’s most lethal attackers.
His ultimate ambition is to emulate former Homeboyz striker Moses Shumah, who became the first player in the club’s history to win the FKF Premier League Golden Boot.”I had a dream debut season, and heading into the new campaign, there will be a lot of expectations, including from myself. Of course, I have targets for the season.

Having already demonstrated his eye for goal in limited appearances, the 20-year-old now heads into the new campaign determined to transform early promise into sustained excellence as he seeks to spearhead Kakamega Homeboyz’ attack and write his name among the FKF Premier League’s elite marksmen.
