As the Kenya Hockey Union transfer window deadline approaches on January 19, Kenya Police coach Patrick Mugambi has made it clear that there will be no new additions to his side.
The transfer window was opened on December 23 last year, giving teams a chance to strengthen their squads before the new season.
Kenya Police last won the KHU premier league title in 2017, but finished third last season behind winners Butali Sugar Warriors and Wazalendo.
Despite losing ground on the title challenge early last season, Mugambi remains confident that the current squad can challenge for the title this season.
"Our hands are tied as far as getting new players on board," Mugambi said. "I'm glad many players who had been transferred to other places last season are now back and we should be a one unified outfit," he added.
However, the team will be without the services of Levis Otieno and Kennedy Sibweche, who are both nursing injuries. Mugambi is optimistic that they will return as the league gathers ground.
On a positive note, Titus Kimutai is fit ahead of the season, having stayed out for the better part of last season due to a leg injury.
