Otieno braced up for new challenge at Rangers

Newly-acquired Posta Rangers winger Patrick Otieno says he is braced up to bully his way to the starting team despite the competition he will face from the high flying wingers at the club. Rangers have been firing from all cylinders this season as they are the third best scoring team after Nairobi City Stars and Kakamega Homeboyz with a large chunk of their goals being contributed by their wingers.Coach Stanley Okumbi has been reaping big on the investment he made by acquiring the duo of Brian Marita and Chrispinus Onyango from Tusker last year as the two have been a thorn in the flesh of opponents defenses and have ten goals in between them.Kariobangi Sharks winger Patrick Otieno has joined Posta Rangers on a three-year long deal. pic.twitter.com/UPy3PfXatu— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) January 26, 2022 Further, Okumbi is certainly a happy man with the goal returns by Caleb Olilo and Victor Ndinya who also arrived in the last transfer window and have five goals between them.Otieno who penned a three- year long deal says he will work his socks off in a bid to get playing time and help the club meet its objectives of the season.“The team has good wingers who have been doing well this season. It is the wish of every player to play regularly and for me to make it, I will have to work hard. I know settling in will not be difficult considering that I have worked under Okumbi in the junior national team. I fully understand his philosophy and he also knows my strengths. The competition will help me grow and stay on top of my game,” he said.Three FKFPL clubs chasing Sharks wingerOtieno who had netted four goals for his immediate former employer Kariobangi Sharks in the meantime revealed that he was keen on hitting double digits.

I have watched a number of Rangers matches and given the type of football they play, I am sure I will score than ten goals before the season ends.” He added.
