On August 28, 2021, Tusker FC announced the return of goalkeeper Patrick Matasi to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League. Matasi signed a two-year deal with the club, citing 'unfinished business' as the reason for his return.
Matasi initially joined Tusker FC in 2018 but left after three months to sign with St. George in Ethiopia. However, he struggled for playing time in his subsequent seasons and has now decided to return home.
"I am really happy to be back at Tusker and it's a great pleasure for me. I was here for only three months then left and for me to come back it means there is something I didn't fulfil as a player. I am here to work and help the team prosper and achieve its targets," Matasi said in an interview with the club's official website.
Tusker FC chairman Dan Aduda welcomed Matasi's return, stating, "We are really excited to land Matasi and he will add immense competition in our goalkeeping department. He has been here before, he knows the fabric of the club and it will not be hard for him to adjust."
Matasi becomes the fourth player to be unveiled by the league champions, joining defender Charles Momanyi from Gor Mahia and the Tanzanian duo of defender Protus Kirenge and striker Ibrahim Joshua.
