Vihiga Bullets FC have signed new players to bolster the team ahead of the Kenya Premier League second leg.
Stand-in coach Milton Kidiga said they have signed a record 19 new players to improve the team's performance following dismal results in the recent past.
Bullets are currently at the bottom of the league with five points after beating City Stars at Bukhungu and registering two draws against Kariobangi Sharks and Wazito FC.
“As the stand-in tactician, I expect good results in this second leg based on the calibre of signing we have made as a club,” Kidiga said.

Among the new players on board are—Hillary Mudoka (Luanda Villa- Division One), Norman Werunga (Shabana), James Ochieng (Kisumu Hotstars, Division Two), Clinton Shuga (Kasarani Sports Academy) and Leachie Odhiambo (unattached).
Others are—Jackson Juma (Kajiado NSL) and Thomas Barasa, David Chesol, Roeben Nyongesa, Derrick Tekkwo, Hillary Ndombi, Ashaduh Bugembe—all from Kona Rangers.
