The Coastal club confirmed the arrival of the highly-rated attacker through an announcement on their official social media platforms, unveiling him as their first signing of the off-season transfer window.
"Mombasa United FC is delighted to announce the signing of Shawn Tune from FCV Football Academy in England.
A young player with ambition, character and immense potential, Shawn now begins the next chapter of his journey in the blue and white.Welcome to the family, Shawn." The club posted.
Tune's arrival marks the beginning of what is expected to be a busy recruitment drive for Mombasa United as the club strengthens its squad for what is expected to be a gruelling campaign.
The 19-year-old joins the Kenyan top-flight newcomers after developing through the ranks at FCV Football Academy, a UK-based institution renowned for combining elite football development with academic education while providing young players with a pathway into the professional game.
Comfortable operating across the attacking line but most effective from the wings, Tune is regarded as an exciting young prospect blessed with pace, direct running and an eye for creating chances in the final third.
His move to Kenya presents him with an opportunity to take the next step in his career and gain valuable first-team experience at senior level.
Mombasa United are still waiting for their fate as far as their promotion to the FKF Premier League is concerned as the case is yet to be determined.
Tune's acquisition is expected to be the first of several additions as the technical bench seeks to assemble a competitive side that will deliver in line with the set objectives.
