Former Harambe Stars captain Victor Wanyama has announced his retirement from professional football.

The midfielder’s career spans two decades, during which he played for clubs in Scotland, Belgium, and England.

Most notably, Wanyama played for English Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton.

“Today, I announce my retirement from football. Four different countries, six different clubs, A boy from Muthurwa with a big dream, carrying a nation's pride every time I stepped onto the pitch. To my family, friends, agent, the fans and the coaching staff that helped me throughout my career, thank you for walking this journey with me,” Wanyama posted on X and Instagram on Friday.

“I now take my next step into coaching, where I will be completing my UEFA ‘A’ license this year,” he added.
