Power Dynamos Football Club have confirmed the departure of club captain Aaron Katebe following the expiry of his contract, bringing an end to a successful four-year spell at Arthur Davies Stadium.
Katebe, who joined Aba Yellow in 2022, leaves having established himself as one of the club’s most influential leaders both on and off the pitch. His departure forms part of the club’s squad restructuring ahead of the 2026/27 MTN Super League season and CAF Champions League campaign.
The experienced defender exits as one of the key figures who helped shape Power Dynamos into one of Zambia’s strongest teams in recent seasons.
A Leader at the Back
Since arriving at Power Dynamos, Katebe quickly cemented his place in the heart of the defence through his composure, leadership and consistency.
His commanding displays earned him the captain’s armband, with teammates and supporters alike recognising his influence in organising the backline and setting standards within the squad.
Throughout his time at the club, he became a dependable figure whose experience proved invaluable in crucial matches.
Successful Spell at Arthur Davies
Katebe’s four years at Power Dynamos coincided with one of the club’s most successful periods in recent history.
The veteran defender played a significant role as Aba Yellow challenged for domestic honours and secured the MTN Super League title, helping the club earn another opportunity to represent Zambia in the CAF Champions League.
His commitment and professionalism made him a respected figure within the dressing room and among the Power Dynamos faithful.

Looking Ahead
As Katebe begins the next chapter of his career, Power Dynamos will now begin the search for a new leader to marshal their defence.
Replacing both the experience and leadership of the outgoing captain will be one of the club’s biggest challenges as preparations continue for another demanding campaign on both the domestic and continental stage.
Conclusion
Aaron Katebe leaves Power Dynamos having built a legacy of leadership, commitment and consistency.
His contribution to the club’s recent success will not be forgotten, and while his journey with Aba Yellow has come to an end, he departs with the respect of the club, his teammates and supporters alike.
