Adam, who skippered Mombasa Olympic last season, said her move to Thika was to "develop her football career."
The diminutive forward said she has set her sights on having a successful season as she aims to secure a professional contract outside the country soon.
Adam thanked Mombasa Olympic for the time she spent at the club, but failed to disclose the terms of her new deal at Thika.
"Every player who wants to develop her talent needs to play for the country’s top clubs,” she said.
Mwanahalima led her former school St. John's Girls Kaloleni to win the Kilifi county, Coast Region and the National Secondary Schools football titles and twice inspired her school to qualify for the East African Secondary Schools Games.
