“The support from the management and everyone at the club is immense so I think we can achieve a top-five finish this season,” said Opiyo in an interview with KTN.

The goalkeeper recently became only the third goalkeeper to win the Player of the Month award joining James Saruni and Justin Ndikumana in the illustrious list.
