Nairobi City Stars’ newly signed centre-back Wycliffe Omondi aka Awiko is raring to go after breaking into the squad at the start of the 2023-24 FKF Premier League season.
Omondi, roped in from second-tier side Migori Youth FC in the offseason, has so far clocked six full 90-minute games since the start of the new season.
“I was in the National Super League where I featured for Migori Youth for just one season before joining City Stars. I am currently enjoying myself to the fullest. Comparing the league where I came from, and the premier league, I have to say that this is a tough one, just one mistake you are punished,” he said.
“But even then, I wish to give my best and make it count for Simba wa Nairobi,” added the soft-spoken defender.
He made his debut, a full one at number 5, in the season opener against Muhoroni Youth on 27 August 2023 in Kasarani Annex, and came out as the man of the match after winning 75 percent aerial duels, with a pass rate from the deep of over 78 percent according to statistics provided by Tisini.
Omondi had nine massive clearances as City Stars went on to register a clean sheet in the game that ended 0-0. City Stars will be away on Sunday at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homa Bay County.
Shabana is seeking a second straight win after upsetting Tusker in their last encounter at Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani two weeks ago.
