Experienced Malkia Strikers setter Jane Wacu has announced her retirement from the national team duties.

The 36-year-old who was part of the Tokyo Olympics games in Japan said that she wanted to venture into other things.

“My aim was to do the Olympics then take a break to pursue other ventures and I feel it’s the right time for that but this is not the end of me on the volleyball stage. I have done it all. I have played in every international event that any athlete would have loved to I gave my all the best way I could and take pride in the fact that during my reign, the team conquered some historic events among them the 2015 FIVB World Grand Prix in Australia,” Wacu told the Nation in an interview.

Wacu said that she is ready to mentor the young players and help them sharpen their skills to become better players in future.

“I am available to guide and hold the hands of the upcoming setters to become better players in future. Let them reach out to me when they need direction or help in the sport. When I started to play, I was also guided and moulded to who I am today. I am taking a break for now but who knows what the future holds. I’m indebted to the Kenya Volleyball Federation under the leadership of Waithaka Kioni, the Kenya Prisons management, my family, fellow players and the media for supporting me. I can only get better.”

During her stint in the national team, Wacu participated in numerous international events, including multiple African Nations Cup Championships, World Cup, World Championships, Grand Prix, African Clubs Championships, World Clubs Championship, and recently participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan.

She also had professional stints in France and Seychelles and locally plays for reigning Kenya volleyball Federation National League champions Kenya Prisons.
