Kenya Harlequin has parted with head coach Paul Murunga on mutual consent, the club announced yesterday.
In a statement, Quins thanked Murunga for being instrumental in building a strong foundation, instilling a winning mindset, and nurturing homegrown talent.
Murunga was appointed the club's coach in May 2022. During his tenure, he led Kenya Harlequin to impressive successes, including lifting the National 7s Circuit, Driftwood 7s, Ingo 7s, and the Mwamba Cup. He was awarded the Kenya Harlequin Spirit of Rugby Shield at the 2023 annual club dinner.
Murunga said he was grateful to serve one of the top rugby clubs in the country.

Director of Rugby Joel Nganga said, "Paul leaves Kenya Harlequin as a winner. He revitalised the men's squad and played a key role in the club's return to women's and age-grade rugby. He guided us to multiple trophies, and his place in Quins' history is assured. Good luck in your future endeavours, Pau."
