Andrew Amonde Retires From National Duty, To Concentrate On Club

KCB RFC and Shujaa sevens side captain Andrew “The Beast” Amonde has retired from international rugby at the age of 37.

Amonde, who captained the Shujaa National Team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, announced his retirement on the international stage after the sevens side bolted out of the competition after having a hard campaign.

Amonde’s decision means he will have a reduced fixture schedule in the coming years, something that should help prolong his club career.

The 37year-old has been a vital part of Curtis Olago’s side in the Kenya Cup success so far, has contributed immensely to the club’s important wins in the early stages of the league before Covid-19 struck the game.

Making the announcement on his Facebook page on Friday 30 July 2021. Amonde thanked his teammates, opponents, coaching and management teams, sponsors and my fans.

 “I’ve thought about this on so many occasions but today is the day and I am very grateful that I can do it on my terms. I’m officially retiring from professional rugby. An incredible sport that I’ve played for 15 years which has helped shape me into the person I am today,” He said.
