Former Harambee Stars midfielder Kevin ‘Ade’ Omondi is plotting to pull out of retirement and walk back to competitive football in January next year.Omondi quietly exited the top flight stage in December last year and sunk into darkness after Kenyan champions Tusker opted not to renew his contract.However, Omondi who was the talk of town at his peak is promising to entertain the fans with his trademark style of passing the ball that earned him the nickname Pass Master.Omondi was rumored to be on his way to Kenya Police who by then were pursuing automatic promotion to the top league after leaving Tusker but the deal fell through. It is after missing out on the Police deal and the recurring knee pains that he says he elected to hang his boots and concentrate on other things.The former Gor Mahia attacking midfielder was sidelined for eight months after going under the knife in June 2019, a setback he regretted that took a toll on him.🚨Injury & Fitness Update🚨What we love to see 💛Rehab workout for Kevin Omondi going on well..He will soon be back💪#TFC #Brewers4life pic.twitter.com/pLpXFvgIK5— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) February 5, 2020 “After I left Tusker, I was supposed to join Police but we did not agree on some terms.
