In a statement, Ingwe noted that the former youth team product, who successfully rose through the ranks, will be departing the Den following a lengthy tenure with the club. Wanyama developed through the Leopards Youth team (Cubs) and went on to become a key figure in the midfield.
Despite signing a contract extension on September 6, 2025, his time at the club has now come to an end after six seasons. He found playing time hard to come by recently, with coach Charles Okere preferring the likes of Kelly Madada, Samuel Ssenyonjo, James Kinyanjui, and Tyson Otieno in offensive roles.
Katasi and Omune leave
In addition, Leopards also confirmed the departure of custodian Humphrey Katasi, who has since joined arch-rivals Gor Mahia.

The club expressed its gratitude to the outgoing captain for his service and wished him the very best as he embarks on the next stage of his football career.
The exits add to previous departures from Kevin Owino and Rami Lasso Coulibaly. who have also left the den.
