Stars abroad: Kenyan could feature in the EPL after promotion

Another Kenyan could feature in the English Premier League after Henry Ochieng's Watford earned promotion as Masud Juma featured for Difaâ El Jadida in Morocco.

Henry Ochieng 

Kenyan international Henry Ochieng’s Watford earned promotion back to the English Premier League at the first time of asking following the 1-0 win over Millwall.

Ochieng currently turns out of the Watford Under 23 side and will be hoping his performances will earn him a promotion to the first team.

The midfielder has represented Kenya Under 23 side in an U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritius.

Masud Juma

Kenyan international Masud Juma clocked 90 minutes for Difaâ El Jadida in the 2-0 loss to RS Berkane in the Moroccan Botola Pro. Difaâ had a horrendous start to the game as they fell behind in the third minute courtesy of a goal from Hamdi Laachir.

Berkane had a similar start to the second half as they doubled their lead inside the opening six minutes through former Auxerre forward Alain Traore. The loss leaves Difaâ in a precarious position as they are only separated from the relegation spots by virtue of a better goal difference.

Tobias Otieno

Former Gor Mahia midfielder Tobias Otieno missed the Union Omaha matchday squad in the 2-0 win over Tormenta in the United Soccer League (USL) League One. According to reliable sources, Tobias is nursing a slight knock and could be available for selection in the next match.

Evan Conway opened the scoring for Omaha in the 23rd minute while a late goal in the 83rd minute through Greg Hurst assured all three points for Omaha.

Omaha sit third on the log after kicking off their campaign with a win and will be hoping for maximum points when they travel to face Fort Lauderdale on Sunday 8 May.
