  • Byron Owino seeks more

    Byron Owino seeks more

    Budding keeper Byron Owino has an aim that he’s keen to claim in the upcoming season.

    Owino, a midseason signing from Kibera Black Stars, became the latest premier league player at Simba wa Nairobi in matchday 31 of last season after earning his debut away to Nzoia Sugar in Mumias.

    He featured in the next tie against Kakamega Homeboyz at Police Sacco, to end his first top flight season with two games under his belt.

    “It’s really a great feeling and a dream come true playing in the Kenya premier league and Nairobi city stars,” he said

    “I am looking forward to earning more playing time and becoming a regular starter for the club,” added

    Beyond the league and club level, Byron has a ceiling he wishes to hit;

    “I and am also working hard to receive a national team call up,”

    Prior to earning his maiden league game against Nzoia, Byron had made the Simba wa Nairobi bench three times in games against Gor Mahia, Bidco United, and against Muranga SEAL.
