Promising footballer Enock Lemaiyan has left St Antony Boys High School, Kitale, to join the Nastic Sports Academy in Spain, marking another major milestone for the celebrated Solidarity Boys football programme.
Lemaiyan, one of the standout performers for St. Anthony in recent secondary school championships, is expected to further his development under professional guidance in Europe.
His move follows the path of several former teammates who have also caught the attention of European scouts.
The Nastic Sports Academy, based in Tarragona, Spain, has recently identified and recruited several young Kenyan talents from St. Anthony Boys.
Among them is gifted midfielder Aldrine Kibet, who signed for Celta Vigo, alongside Amos Wanjala and Allan Kasavuli, who have also joined the academy.
The trio’s success — and now Lemaiyan’s inclusion — underscores the school’s growing reputation as a breeding ground for elite football talent in the region.
St. Anthony Boys, under the guidance of long-serving coach Patrick Mayoyo, has built a strong legacy in nurturing young footballers who combine discipline and academic excellence.

Mayoyo praised Lemaiyan’s commitment and leadership, describing him as “a player with maturity beyond his age and a true ambassador of the school’s football philosophy.”
Lemaiyan’s move to Spain reflects the expanding opportunities for Kenyan student-player abroad.
Through partnerships and scouting networks, European academies have increasingly turned their attention to Kenya’s school competitions, which have become fertile grounds for discovering exceptional players.
Lemaiyan thanked his teachers, coaches, and teammates for their unwavering support and encouragement.
With Lemaiyan joining Nastic Sports Academy, St. Antony Boys continues to cement its place as a powerhouse in school football and a key exporter of young Kenyan talent to Europe.
