FKF Premier League outfit AFC Leopards are on the verge of re-signing midfielder Clifton Miheso after he left fellow league side Kenya Police following the expiry of his contract at the end of last season.

The 30-year-old Miheso fueled his return to AFC with a post on his social media pages, which suggested he was heading back to the Kenyan giants. In the cryptic post on his Facebook page, Miheso said: “A Leopard cannot change its spots. Yamateree.”

His comment sparked debate with Ingwe fans urging the club’s top management to move with speed and seal his transfer. “Welcome back maestro, we need you back like yesterday, hope AFC officials move quickly to have you sign,” responded Alfred Opetu on Miheso’s post, while Ramadhani Mohammed said: “Ours forever welcome home.” Crispin Wakhanu opined: “Welcome back to the Den, we only need goals,” while Leopardess Achy Bree, said: “Welcome back home my favorite person.”

When reached for comment over the transfer, a top AFC official, who did not want to be named, admitted that Miheso was indeed heading back to AFC Leopards on a one-year renewable contract. “We are still discussing with Miheso and his representatives and it is almost a done deal,” the source said, adding: “We are just finalising a few things in regards to paperwork but what I can tell you for now it going to be a one-year renewable contract.”

Born in Kakamega, Miheso began his career in the Kenya top-flight, where he played for Thika United from 2011 to 2013, before joining Sofapaka and spending a further three seasons with the club.
