Since joining Ulinzi, she has won four major trophies, including the FKF Women’s Cup and FKF Super Cup in 2021 and 2023.
Angachi joined Ulinzi Starlets after her former club Gaspo Women was relegated from the women's top tier league.
While many footballers dream of playing professionally abroad, Ulinzi Starlets and Harambee Starlets midfielder Sherly Angachi Andibo chose a different path—joining the military to secure her future beyond football.
In 2021, the 24-year-old moved from Gaspo Women to Ulinzi Starlets after her former club was relegated from the Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League (FKF-WPL).
