Kibet put pen to paper and signed for Spanish La Liga side, Celta Vigo in La Liga.
The development was confirmed in June 2025, after the 18-year old who had been accompanied by his parents to Spain signed a multi-million contract.
Kibet rose to prominence playing as an attacking midfielder for St. Anthony’s Boys High School in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County, where he captained the team to a national championship title at the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) tournament in August 2023.
Kibet was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) and top scorer, with 25 goals and 27 assists during the tournament.
Before joining Celta Vigo, Kibet was playing in Spain’s Nàstic Sports Academy, the youth development arm linked to Gimnàstic de Tarragona, which competes in the Spanish third tier.
He moved to Spain in September 2023, straight from St. Anthony’s Boys’ High School in Kitale, after shining in the 2023 KSSSA school games.
Kibet has also played in several CECAFA Youth tournaments and was also part of Kenya’s U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Celta Vigo, officially known as Real Club Celta de Vigo, is a Spanish professional football club based in the city of Vigo, Galicia.
