    Clifford Ouma speaks up after first full Premiership game

    Defensive midfielder Clifford Ouma Otieno is a happy lad after earning his first full Kenyan Premier League game as Nairobi City Stars forced a 0-0 draw away to Posta Rangers in Thika Stadium on Sunday 11 December 2022.

    His first start ended up well as he went on to clock a full 90 minutes in the process picking up a man-of-the-match accolade.

    “I feel I did well in my first 90+ debut game, but there’s still lots to do. I want to thank my Coach (Nicholas Muyoti) for giving me an opportunity to prove myself,”

    “I suppose he was satisfied with what he saw in that game and I believe he’ll build more confidence in me as time goes by,” said Cliff, the former Migori Youth skipper 

    On the way to a complete premiership game, Clifford was introduced to the Kenyan top flight in Ruaraka on matchday two against Tusker FC after replacing Peter Opiyo in the 87th minute.

    He earned more minutes in the next game against FC Talanta at the same venue in match day three after taking up Opiyo’s place in the 79th minute.

    His debut never went well as Simba wa Nairobi went down 4-1 to the defending Champions Tusker.

    “It was my debut day against Tusker but the big day never went well. We lost. I hate losing. I hope to gather more minutes and playtime as we go along and help my team gain more positive results.”

    Clifford will be hoping to retain his place in the squad as City Stars heads away to face Nzoia United in Sudi in match day five on Saturday 17 December 2022.

    Migori Youth defensive midfielder and skipper Clifford Ouma, 22, has joined Nairobi City Stars on a one-year deal.

    The immediate former skipper from second-tier side Migori Youth onboards as a like-for-like replacement for Sven Yidah who has since joined South Africa’s top-tier side Marumo Gallants.

    “It’s an honor to join this great football club. I have worked so hard to get this chance, and now that I’m here, I want to push myself even further,”

    “I choose to join City Stars because currently, it’s the best club in the country. There will be a lot of work to do but I firmly believe that, under this great management, the technical bench together with my team-mates, we can do it,”

    “I want to thank my former club Migori Youth, and their fans for the platform they gave me in the past few years, and for all the support and understanding they gave me. I had an unbelievable time there but feel the moment was right to sample another level and environment. Now I’m at the perfect club to do this.” added Clifford

    In welcoming Clifford, team coordinator Samson Otieno said; “As far back as 2019 we had spotted him but there was no vacancy for him till now. His consistency all through still made him an attraction for City Stars.

    Clifford will don jersey no. 18 vacated by Sven.
