There was a chance for him to leave before the current season started, but he felt unready and decided to play for the club for one more season.

K’Ogalo coach Johnathan Mckinstry was keen on landing him last year, and he is now set to have his man, albeit a season late, after the forward opted to shun the other suitors.“He spoke to a number of clubs, but he was sold out to Gor Mahia’s project, and he has agreed to join them once the season concludes. Gor is the biggest team in the country, and I think it was easy for him to agree to join them. Now it is a matter of ending the season strongly with City Stars before crossing over to Gor Mahia,” the source added.The Liberty Academy product joined City Stars in September 2022 from Kibera Black Stars after shining in the season. He was making a comeback to the top tier after his first failed stint with Posta Rangers in the 2020–2021 season.At Gor, he will compete for a starting place in the team with the likes of Bryson Wangai, Sharrif Musa, Boniface Omondi, Benson Omala, Chris Ochieng, and Patrick Kaddu, although the Ugandan is largely expected to depart at the end of the season.
