Express.js, req.params not being called - express

Question

So i have been racking my brain for quite awhile now trying to figure this out and I'm still having issues.
So i define a route like this:
var home = require('./routes/home');
var app = express();
app.use('/home/:client', home);
And my home.js code looks like this:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('homeview', { title: 'Welcome',
user: username});
});
router.get('/:client', function(req, res, next) {
var theClient = req.params.client;
console.log(theClient)
});
module.exports = router;
And then when i try to go to this URL:
http://www.localhost:3000/home/client
Nothing happens. For some reason it never gets to the second router.get and never logs anything. Anyone notice whats wrong?

Working solution # https://github.com/rmjoia/expressRoutes
app.js
var express = require('express'),
app = express(),
port = process.env.PORT || 3000,
homeRouter = require('./home');
app.use('/home', homeRouter);
app.route('/')
.all(function (request, response, next) {
// Do some plumbing stuff
next();
})
.get(function (request, response, next) {
response.send('OK GET - Hello Stack Overflow');
next();
});
app.listen(port, function (error) {
if (error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
else {
console.info('Server up and running. Listening on port ' + port);
}
})
home.js
var express = require('express');
var homeRouter = express.Router();
var router = (function (router) {
// define the home page route
router.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.send('home route - homepage');
});
// define the about route
router.get('/:client', function (req, res) {
res.send(req.params.client);
});
return homeRouter;
})(homeRouter);
module.exports = router;
