National Super League sides jostling for highly rated keeper Ogweno

Months after parting ways with Kariobangi Sharks, custodian Gideon Ogweno has emerged as center of interest for clubs plying trade in the second tier.

Ogweno joined Sharks from Kenya Police FC but his stay at the club lasted only for a season rendering him a free agent at the conclusion of 2022-2023 campaign.

The youthful custodian enjoyed fabulous spells in the second tier with Migori Youth in 2020/2021 season finishing as first runners up best goalkeeper of the season to eventual winner Bonface Munyasa, a performance that convinced Police to snap up his services though he failed to impress at the law enforces and was shipped out to Kariobangi the following season.

The Migori Youth academy graduate known for his quick reflexes in goal is being trailed by National Super League newbies Nairobi United with coach Paul Odhiambo Okatwa keen on tying down the keeper with a two year deal on the table.
