Patrick Matasi Career Progression

Patrick Matasi began his journey at Kabras United in 2009 after transitioning from handball. He made his FKF Premier League debut in 2011 with AFC Leopards, where he spent four successful years, winning the Mozzart Bet Cup in 2013.
A memorable, if controversial, moment came during the 2013 Mashemeji Derby against Gor Mahia when Patrick Matasi was seen waving to fans while time-wasting, a tactic that ultimately backfired as Gor Mahia equalised, resulting in a 2-2 draw.
Patrick Matasi then moved to Posta Rangers in 2015, helping them gain promotion to the top tier in 2016 and earning his national team debut in 2017.

Boniface Muchiri Sounds Warning to Morocco and Co as Harambee Stars Set Sights on CHAN Glory
Boniface Muchiri has expressed confidence in Harambee Stars' CHAN preparations, warning rivals like Morocco that Kenya is ready to compete for the title.
However, controversy followed him. An incident in a 2014 match against his former club, AFC Leopards, saw fans attacking him both on the pitch and later at a bus station.
He eventually left Posta Rangers in 2018 after a dispute regarding employment with the parent state corporation.
A brief stint at Tusker FC preceded a move to Ethiopian giants Saint George FC in 2018. Despite staying until 2021, Patrick Matasi made fewer than 25 appearances.
During this period, he played a key role in Kenya's qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), their first appearance in 15 years. Although Kenya exited in the group stage, Matasi's penalty save against Sadio Mane in a 3-0 loss to Senegal remains a highlight.
Patrick Matasi rejoined Tusker FC in 2021, helping them win the league title in the 2021/2022 season. A falling out with coach Robert Matano led to limited playing time and a subsequent transfer to Kenya Police FC in March 2023.
He found his form at Kenya Police, playing a crucial role in their historic Mozzart Bet Cup victory, earning the tournament's best goalkeeper award. This victory also secured Kenya Police FC's first-ever qualification for continental football.
