Expect no squad overhaul in January, Gor Mahia boss Jonathan McKinstry says

Gor Mahia promoted three players from their youth ranks in the just ended pre-new-KFPL season transfer window which shut on Monday.The players are John Nyawir (striker), Lyson Muyonga (midfielder/winger), and Paul Ochuoga (right back). K’Ogalo, like their nemesis AFC Leopards, cannot sign new players outside their structures owing to a prevailing FIFA transfer ban.But even when the transfer freeze is lifted for Gor Mahia in January 2023, don’t expect a squad overhaul, according to head coach Jonathan McKinstry, who believes in the calibre of players he has currently.”I don’t think it is very likely you will see us having a transfer window like some of the teams in the FKFPL where we bring in ten, twelve or fifteen players, I think for me I wouldn’t expect maybe three or five new faces, we’re not going to do this wholesale changes, but we’re going to work with the guys who are there,” the former Uganda Cranes manager told Mozzart Sport. Perfect start to new season elates Gor Mahia head coach##NAJAVA_MECA_6864271##”We have quality players and there’s no point adding more just to make up the numbers.”Kariobangi Sharks were the most active during the mini-transfer window, roping in a whopping 18 players.So far, in two league openers, with largely the same squad as last season’s, K’Ogalo have bagged maximum points; edging out Nzoia Sugar FC 1-0 and Bidco United 2-1. The team is, however, out of league action this weekend, but will instead play a friendly against FKF Division 2 side Creative Hands FC at Camp Toyoyo on Saturday.Gor Mahia were scheduled to face Wazito FC in the league, but the former big spenders, alongside Mathare United are still waiting for their fate at the Sports Dispute Tribunal, SDT in a case touching on relegation/promotion.”It’s a challenge getting friendlies as the FKFPL and the NSL (National Super League) have all started, but we have to keep in shape as we don’t know when we’ll be called to action,” McKinstry said.
