Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side KCB FC have partnered with Protege FC in a deal that will see the latter become the Bankers' official youth team.
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) club licensing rules require top-flight clubs to invest in and have fully-functional youth structures, so the Bankers have acted promptly.
KCB Team Manager Bramwel Mbirira believes the partnership will benefit both parties.
"We are extremely excited to work with PFC who have already shown they have the personnel and skills set to develop players from such tender ages.
"Working with them ensures that while we concentrate on getting the best out of the senior team, there's a clear path for youngsters developed through our youth system to take the step up.
