Collins Lusaka Sichenje (born 19 September 2003) is a Kenyan professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serbian SuperLiga club Vojvodina, on loan from Swedish side AIK.[1][2][3][4]

Club career

[edit]

Sichenje started his career with Green Commandos.[5] After that, he signed for Kenyan Premier League side AFC Leopards in September 2019.[6] In July 2021, he joined B side of Greek team PAOK but failed to settle and returned to his former side without making an appearance.[7] Two months later, he joined Allsvenskan side AIK on a four-year deal.[8] On 7 August 2022, he made his professional league debut starting in a 1–0 defeat to Kalmar.[9] He received interest from teams in Spain.[10]

On 31 March 2023, he joined Veikkausliiga side KuPS on loan for the season.[11][12] After the season, he returned to AIK as the purchase option was not exercised. Sichenje made 23 appearances for KuPS in total.

On 11 July 2024, Sichenje joined Serbian SuperLiga club Vojvodina on a six-month loan deal, with option to make the loan a permanent transfer.[4] Two months later, after impressing in his first few games for the club, Sichenje's move was made permanent. He signed a three-year deal with the club.[13][14]

International career

[edit]

In 2020, he was first called up to Kenya national team.[15] In March 2021, Sichenje made his debut for Kenya in a 1–0 friendly win over South Sudan.[16]
