Derrick Otanga explains why he has left Kenya Police FC

Kenya Police striker Derrick Otanga says he is leaving the club in search of more playing time. Otanga said he is open to a move to another Football Kenya Premier League (FKFPL) side at the moment. “It has been difficult to get playing time at Kenya Police and so I have made the decision to move because there still too much I can offer. My focus is to play locally at the moment,” he said.Asked whether he would be tempted to return to his former club KCB, the striker said he would not turn down a good offer if the banker’s tabled one for him.“If they bring a good offer, I will consider it. The most important thing is for me to get playing time,” he added. Otanga leaves hardly four months after he signed for the law keepers on a three-year deal. Prior to signing for the law keepers, Otanga had a failed attempt to play at Libyan side Al-Tihad where he also struggled to get playing time and just like at Kenya Police he left after four months.##NAJAVA_MECA_7367722##Matters were made even worse for him after former AFC Leopards coach Luc Eymael, who had signed him, left the Libyan club.
