Top 50 most promising Kenyan Under 23 players [Part One]

11. Sylvester Owino (Kakamega Homeboyz) 

The centre-back joined Kakamega Homeboyz from Vihiga Bullets at the start of the season and has fit into life in top-flight football like a hand to a glove.

The budding defender has also contributed on the other end of the field after scoring the winner in the 2-1 victory over Mathare United.

12. Kevin Okumu (Nairobi City Stars)

After joining Wazito FC at the start of the season, things did not work out well for the right-back as he was handed limited game time but a move back to Nairobi City Stars has seen him rediscover his form that earned Simba wa Nairobi promotion last season.

He marked his return to City Stars with a goal against Zoo FC and could be added competition to Baraka Badi and Daniel Sakari at Harambee Stars if he continues with his impressive performances.

13. Boniface Mwangemi (Kariobangi Sharks)

The left-back broke into the Sharks squad in the 2019-2020 season and had a number of decent performances for the club.

The switch in formation to a 3-5-2 in a handful of Sharks games has not been kind to the Dagoretti High School alumnus coupled with the resurgence of Boniface Onyango.

14. Moses Mwale (Nzoia Sugar FC)

Younger brother to Harambee Stars left-back Harun Mwale is hoping to make the National Team defensive flanks a family affair judging from his appearances at Nzoia.

The left-back joined Nzoia Sugar from Bandari at the start of the season and has represented the country in the national U20, Rising Stars and the national U23, Emerging Stars sides.

15. Fidel Origa (Wazito)

Fidel Origa has been Wazito’s midfield dynamo this season, pulling strings at the heart of midfield to ensure the team posts decent performances.

His performances earned him the Wazito December Player of the Month award having hit the ground running since joining from Western Stima.

16. Alpha Onyango (Gor Mahia) 

The midfielder has finally come of age after lighting up the Chapa Dimba tournament with Gor Mahia Youth that saw them storm into the national finals.

He was roped into the first team at the start of the season and played a number of matches before losing his place to Burkinabe signing Abdul Zoko.

17. Rodgers Ouma (Western Stima)

The 17-year-old has posted decent performances for Western Stima despite the team struggling for form this campaign.

The midfielder is enjoying a decent debut season in the league after joining from Manyatta United before the start of the season and was named man of the match in the barren draw against Zoo.

18. Victor Omondi (KCB)

Just like KCB the forward is enjoying one of his best seasons at the club, adding goals to his game and even scored against Gor Mahia.

Having joined KCB from Nzoia Sugar back in 2018 the forward has taken time to adapt to the team but is finally repaying the faith instilled in him.

19. Danson Kiprono (Zoo)

The forward has been trusted to lead the Zoo FC forward line despite his tender age and has chipped in with goals.

Kiprono’s season has however been slowed down by a niggly injury and his hoping to score more regularly for Zoo once the league resumes after fully recovering from his injury.

20. Eric Zakayo (Tusker)

The young forward was promoted to the Tusker FC senior team back in July 2019 and has had to wait patiently for his chances at the club.

This season he has made a number of substitute appearances and capped his appearance against Nzoia with an assist to Henry Meja that proved to be the match-winner.
