Career
society
In his youth, James Situma first played for local club Ndivisi United and later as captain of his secondary school. There were friendly matches against the local KPL clubs Mumias Sugar FC and Nzoia Sugar FC . He was signed by the latter club in 2003 during his last school year. After the 2004/05 season Nzoia Sugar broke up and he moved to World Hope FC , with whom he won the President's Cup in the same year . In 2007 Situma signed with Sofapaka in the second division and became captain after two weeks. There he again won the President's Cup and in 2008 rose again to the KPL. In 2009 he became champion with Sofapaka and in 2010 he won the national cup for the third time.
In mid-2011 James Situma moved to KF Tirana , making him the first Kenyan to play in Albania's Superiors category and shortly afterwards winning the Albanian Cup. His visa expired when he was in Kenya in November 2011 for a qualifying match at the 2012 African Cup of Nations against Uganda . Renewing a longer visa did not work smoothly; To bridge the gap, Situma trained at his old club Sofapaka. However, according to Sofapaka President Elly Kalekwa, no transfer fees were paid due to a change in ownership of KF Tirana and so his contract, as well as Moses Arita , who moved from Thika United to Tirana, was terminated . Situma then played again at Sofapaka and took over the role of captain again.
In 2013, Situma's contract with Sofapaka expired and he moved to AFC Leopards for the 2014 season .
National team
Situma made his national team debut on January 9, 2010 in a friendly against Cameroon , where he made it 1-0 with a free kick and was substituted in the 57th minute. However, Kenya lost the game 3-1.
