What you need to know:

  • In his 17-year playing career with Quins, Agunda claimed several honours, including: Three Kenya Cup titles (2008, 2010, 2012), Three Rugby Super Series titles (2010, 2011, 2012), Enterprise Cup (2009) and National Sevens Circuit title (2012)
  • Agunda also earned a spot on the Kenya Harlequin FC Roll of Honour in 2014 and represented Kenya in both 15s and sevens at all representative levels, including as Vice-Captain of the Under-19 and Under-20 national teams.

For former Kenya Simbas and Kenya Sevens player Patrick Agunda, taking over as head coach of Kenya Harlequin is a deeply nostalgic and symbolic full-circle moment.

Agunda, 35, steps into the top job after serving as deputy coach for five years, three of them under outgoing head coach and former Kenya Sevens tactician Paul “Pau” Murunga.
