Kayole Starlets forward Calta Nasambu has signed for Turkish club Haymana Spor Kulübü, marking a major milestone in her career after rising through the Safaricom Chapa Dimba tournament.

Her contract runs until the end of the season in May 2027, with an option for an extension.
Nasambu joined Kayole Starlets in February 2026 from Barcelona Ladies SC in Laikipia, alongside former teammates Sonia Wambui and Naomi Nanjala.
She helped the Nairobi-based side finish sixth in the Kenyan Women’s Premier League last season.
“This is a dream come true. It has always been my prayer to play outside the country, and today, I am heading to Turkey,” Nasambu said.
“I believe this is just the beginning, and I will do my best to go even further. Safaricom taking me to Spain through Chapa Dimba opened the door to international opportunities, and I cannot thank them enough.”
She also thanked Barcelona Ladies SC and Kayole Starlets for giving her opportunities to develop her talent and pursue her football ambitions.
At Haymana Spor Kulübü, Nasambu will reunite with former Kayole Starlets teammates Lavin Achola and Euphrasier Shilwatso, who joined the Turkish side in August.
International pathway
Nasambu first attracted national attention during the fourth season of the Safaricom Chapa Dimba tournament, representing Barcelona Ladies SC.
She emerged as the competition’s top scorer, helping the Laikipia-based side qualify for the national finals in Kisumu.
Her performances at the regional and national finals earned her selection to the Safaricom Chapa Dimba All-Stars team that travelled to Huesca, Spain, in 2025 for a week-long training camp.
While in Spain, she earned an opportunity to train with Huesca’s women’s first team after impressing during friendly matches played as part of the tour.
Born and raised in Sikhendu, Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, Nasambu developed her game at Barcelona Ladies SC under coach Emman Wafula Gullit before moving to Kayole Starlets.
Kayole Starlets team manager Faith Odit described Nasambu as one of the club’s most talented players and expressed confidence in her future.
“Calta is one of the most talented players at Kayole Starlets. The way she controls and possesses the ball clearly shows that she has a bright future ahead of her,” Odit said.
“As a club, we are happy that she has earned the opportunity to join Turkish women’s football club Haymana Spor Kulübü for the remainder of the season. I wish her all the best as she takes this important step in her career.”
