Next year, after promoting to the Nationwide League (second level), it adopted new name, Medisca Thika, after its then sponsors. The current name has been in use since 2003, which was also its first year in the top flight. They are a member of the top division in Kenyan football. Their home stadium is Thika Municipal Stadium. Midfielder Matthew Dickinson hit the headlines of local and some national newspapers when he left local team Brislington Badgers in Bristol, England, to travel to Kenya to gain nationality and happened to earn himself a lengthly contract with Thika United.[1]
