FC Golden State Force, a US fourth-tier side based in California, is set to host Kenyan footballer Boniface Muchiri for trials. Founded in 2015, the team participates in the USL League Two, the fourth level in US football leagues hierarchy.
As a breeding ground for the best under-23 players in the US, the team is associated with LA Galaxy. Muchiri, 23, was the top scorer for Tusker in the Kenyan Premier League last season with 12 goals.
He made his debut for Harambee Stars during their friendly match against Uganda Cranes on September 8, 2019. A representative of Hector (EA) Ltd, which manages Muchiri, revealed the development, stating that the player is expected to link up with the club soon.
"We have finalised everything in regards to paperwork, and he should be with the team in a matter of a week or so," the source told Nation Sport on Thursday, September 19, 2019. "It is a good opportunity for him to develop in a good environment, and we are sure he will make it in the trials and land a deal."
