It was not an easy decision to make but it has been necessitated wholly by the need to make ends meet and take care of my family. I wish to thank everyone who helped me in one way or another during my stay at the club.
The star, who was named the Premier League New/Young Player of the Year in 2018, also picked individuals who helped him at the Green Army. They include club chairman Ambrose Rachier who signed me from Zoo FC plus coaches Hassan Oktay, Steve Polack and Vaz Pinto who have made me a better player, he added.

But I am happy the way the team played, especially in the first half. We also controlled the second half but did not create clear chances like we did in the first one. I am also happy with our defensive organization. When I came, this was the main problem of the team, but we managed to keep a clean sheet. I don t remember our opponents creating a clear scoring opportunity; I am happy to have at least solved it.
The tactician hinted he might not sign more players especially after the arrival of former skipper Haron Shakava, Burkinabe midfielder Abdul Karim Nikiema Zoko and Brazilian forward Wilson Silva Fonseca.
He joins Nicholas Kipkirui – who has not been involved much largely due to family issues as he also missed a Caf Champions League tie against CR Belouizdad, Benson Omalla, Jules Ulimwegu – who scored two consecutive goals against Ulinzi Stars and Tusker, and Tito Okello, who earned a brace against Western Stima recently.
Gor Mahia are likely to face a tough Premier League title defence given that they have lost three games; a 2-1 loss against Tusker, a 4-3 outcome against Kariobangi Sharks and a surprising 1-0 loss to struggling Vihiga United.
In the last three matches, however, they have managed to score nine goals - against Mathare United, Western Stima and Zoo FC.
