Kenya international Collins Sichenje made his English Championship debut for Charlton Athletic on February 21, 2026, starting in a 1-1 away draw with Southampton and playing 89 minutes.

He was an unused substitute against QPR

Sichenje was named in Charlton’s matchday squad for the February 6 home game against Queens Park Rangers but did not enter the 0-0 draw. He also remained on the bench in the following matches against Stoke City and Portsmouth before making his first appearance.

From Vojvodina to Charlton

Charlton announced Sichenje’s signing from Serbian club FK Vojvodina on February 2, 2026, on a three-and-a-half-year contract. The move brought the Harambee Stars defender to English football after spells in Kenya, Greece, Finland and Serbia.

The Southampton start was his first competitive appearance for Charlton. His later match record, rather than the debut alone, will show whether he secures a regular place.
