Rising Star
Tyron Kariuki first captured the spotlight in December 2023 with a series of stellar performances that garnered attention far and wide. His exceptional skills on the pitch led to interest from several clubs, and although he was courted by the Spanish academy Nastic Sports Academy, his club, Rainbow FC, declined their proposal. This decision caused quite a stir within the Kenyan football community before the situation eventually settled.
Controversial Omission
Kariuki’s exclusion from the Emerging Stars squad for the COSAFA Cup in South Africa raised many eyebrows.

“It is true; he left earlier today for Croatia. He already signed a pre-contract with the club and he’s now going to complete the transfer. Barring any unforeseen occurrences, he will be a Hajduk Split player soon. We are happy with his progress and wish him all the best in Croatia because this is a deserved move and we believe that he has what it takes to flourish there and in other bigger teams in Europe,” the source said.
