Former Marumo Galants midfielder, Sven Yidah, displays skills for All Stars in Five Star Tournament in Dagoretti.
Former Marumo Gallants midfielder Sven Yidah on Saturday shared photos of himself in action for amateur side All Stars in Dagoretti, Nairobi.
The footballer, who parted ways with the South African club at the end of 2022/2023 season, is believed to be keeping himself fit as he awaits new opportunities.
The 24-year-old midfielder journey has been one of highs and lows, showcasing the true spirit of a determined athlete.
The pre-season tournament dubbed the Five Star tournament witnessed Yidah's return to the grassroots, a stark contrast from his time in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in South Africa.
All Stars, led by the spirited Yidah, faced off against Pirates FC in a closely contested match, which ended with a narrow 1-0 defeat for the amateur side.

Yidah's time with Marumo Galants failed to not pan out as he had hoped, struggling to secure regular starts in the highly competitive Premier Soccer League (PSL).
Limited appearances and just six inclusions in the match-day squad meant he faced challenges on the pitch.
Before his South African stint, Sven Yidah was a well-known talent in Kenyan football. Starting his career at Ligi Ndogo Academy, he quickly caught the attention of top-flight side Kariobangi Sharks, where he made a move in January 2016.
