Mathare United Add Steel as Bilal Atano Becomes Sixth Mid-Season Signing

Mathare United are not standing still , and this latest move confirms intent rather than survival.

The Slum Boys have confirmed the signing of midfielder Bilal Atano from Bandari FC, making him their sixth addition of the mid-season transfer window as they continue to reshape the squad for the business end of the campaign.

Atano arrives as a functional signing, not flashy, but purposeful. In a league where momentum can swing in weeks, Mathare’s recruitment tells a deeper story: this is about control, not panic. Six signings in January is not coincidence; it’s planning.

This move signals belief inside the camp. Mathare United are reinforcing key areas early, backing the technical bench, and refusing to leave their fate to chance.

Whether Atano becomes a starter or a squad stabiliser, the message is already clear: Mathare United are strengthening to compete, not merely to cope.

The window isn’t just open! Mathare United are using it!
