Just when it looked like Jojo Depay was finding his rhythm again… everything changes.
In a move that has caught many in the Kenyan FC community off guard, Jojo Depay has officially parted ways with Rangers Esports, becoming a free agent at a time when his form is finally on the rise.
Jojo leaves Rangers after the expiry of his contract and is now ready to explore other options. Widely regarded as one of the greatest Kenyan FC players of all time, Jojo is open to joining a new team soon.
“My journey with Rangers has been special, and I’m grateful for everything the club and fans have done for me. Now I feel it’s time for a new challenge in my career, and I’m open to exploring the next opportunity that comes my way.”

Early exits. Tough losses. Moments that didn’t feel like the Jojo everyone knew.
There was even a point where people started asking the question no top player wants to hear:
“Is he finished?”
The Comeback Everyone Was Waiting For
Then came the response.
Not in words — but in results.
Jojo started showing signs again. Better decisions. More composure. That sharpness that made him dangerous in the first place.
And then he made it loud and clear prior to the Safaricom Hook Tournament when he boldly stated: “Hii imeenda“.
At the time, it sounded like confidence. Maybe even pressure.
But he backed it up — winning the tournament and reminding everyone exactly who he is.
That win didn’t just add a trophy.
It changed the conversation.
A Free Agent… and a Dangerous One
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Jojo Depay as a free agent is not just another player on the market. This is someone with:
- proven experience
- tournament-winning pedigree
- and now… momentum again
Any team looking to strengthen their FC roster will be watching closely.
Because if Jojo is truly back to his best, then this move could shift the balance in the scene.
What Happens Next?
That’s the story everyone will be watching.
Does he join a new team immediately?
Does he take time and play independently?
Or is there a bigger move already in the works?
One thing is certain — this isn’t the end of the Jojo Depay story. If anything… it feels like the start of a new chapter.
Jojo Depay has left Rangers Esports — but with his form returning, the real question is… who gets him next?
