    Dennis Oalo: City Stars taking shape

    New Nairobi City Stars field captain Dennis Oalo reckons the team has turned a corner and has become better compared to last season.

    According to the forward, Simba wa Nairobi is now a more competitive lot as can be seen from early results into the 2023-24 FKF Premier League season.

    “We were at the rebuilding stage last season and with time most of the players have now matured and adapted well into the league,” said Oalo

    “Then, we had areas of concern within the team but now all has been fixed and everyone is raring to go,”

    “We were considered the underdogs last season but now things have changed for the better. There’s a reflection to that change as witnessed by the results in the first five games of this season,” added Oalo

    Oalo joined Simba wa Nairobi in last season’s mid-transfer window in March from FC Talanta. He went on to feature in 16 games scoring once and providing three assists on his way to clocking 1,109 minutes.

    Into the new season, Oalo has featured in all five games as captain.
