Ochieng has already struck a pre-contract deal with the record Kenyan champions.

Gor Mahia are set to complete the signing of former FC Talanta FC right-back Alvin ‘Chicha’ Ochieng in the coming days, Mozzart Sport can exclusively report.

The marauding right back terminated his contract with the Ken Kenyatta-led team after two seasons, and he is now set to link up with Johnathan McKinstry’s side, which is currently rebuilding ahead of the new campaign that starts in August. The club also makes a comeback in the CAF Champions League after winning the league title in 2023.

In an interview, the player confirmed that his transfer to the record league champions is all but complete, with everything agreed upon. He is set to join K’Ogalo on the Bosman in the course of the week.

"I am no longer an FC Talanta player; we parted ways weeks before the season, and at the moment I am a free agent. I have an agreement in principle with Gor Mahia, and I will sign my contract with the club in the coming days," he stated.

The former Kisumu All-Stars and Wazito FC man is excited about the potential move to Gor’s backyard, as he believes that it is a transfer that will build him career-wise.

"I did not need much convincing to join Gor because they are a big club and I am there to help the team, grow as a player, and win titles," the former Kenya U20 defender added.

At Gor, he will compete for the right-back position with captain Philemon Otieno and youngster Paul Ochuoga.

Chicha becomes Gor Mahia’s second off-season signing after the arrival of Kevin Juma from Nzoia Sugar FC.
