Timothy Ouma has begun a new chapter in England with a familiar face waiting for him at Charlton Athletic.
The Harambee Stars midfielder has joined the English club from Slavia Prague on a season-long loan, with Charlton holding an option to make the move permanent, setting the stage for an intriguing Kenyan reunion in London.
Ouma, 22, was officially unveiled by the Addicks on Monday, linking up with fellow Kenyan international Collins Sichenje as the two continue their football journey together after years of friendship.
For Ouma, having Sichenje around could prove particularly valuable as he adjusts to a new league, country and footballing environment.
The pair have known each other since before Sichenje moved to Sweden and have remained close through their respective careers, regularly sharing a room while on Harambee Stars duty.
