The Harambee Stars winger said he was pleased with the new deal and was looking forward to the next season.

"I'm happy to have extended my stay at AFC Leopards. Looking forward to a great pre-season as we prepare for the new season." Nyakeya stated.

Nyakeya joined AFC Leopards from Wazito FC last season. He had returned to the local league after a stint with the Egyptian side FC Masr.

Goalkeeper Maxwell Muchesia Mulili was handed a new three-year deal at the club while South Sudanese International Mousa Saad penned a new one-year deal.
