Following Gor Mahia’s unsuccessful 2024-25 campaign, who is likely to leave either for paid ranks abroad or to create room for new arrivals?
Gor Mahia are smarting from a painful season when they finished second in both domestic competitions that they were widely expected to win.
K’Ogalo lost out the FKF Premier League title to Kenya Police two weeks ago and their remaining hope of silverware went up in smoke when they were beaten 2-1 by Nairobi United in the FKF Cup on Sunday.
It means K’Ogalo end the season trophyless, having claimed back-to-back league titles in the previous two campaigns.

3 Mistakes That Cost Gor Mahia FKF Cup final to Nairobi United
3 reasons Gor Mahia lost the FKF Cup final to Nairobi United.
So, who could find himself joining paid ranks abroad or dumped by K’Ogalo?
Austin Odhiambo
)
The last player Gor Mahia would want to lose, midfielder Austin Odhiambo has been the driving force at the club for the last three seasons with his goals and creativity leading them to success.
Odhiambo was crucial to their two league titles in 2022-23 and 2023-24 and has also played a part in their runners-up finishes in the league and cup this term, ending up as the club’s top scorer.
In a season when strikers disappointed, Odhiambo stepped up, providing goals and assists and just like the end of last season, Gor Mahia will find it difficult to keep hold of him with reported interest from Belgium, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Austin Odhiambo: 3 Potential Destinations for Gor Mahia’s Midfield Maestro
Gor Mahia's midfield star Austin Odhiambo has previously attracted transfer interest and will likely spark again as the season culminates.
Alphonce Omija
)
Defender Alphonce Omija made a surprise decision to return home before the start of the just ended season after a short stint at Oman’s Dhofar Club and it has paid off.
Omija, who came through the ranks at Gor Mahia, has seen his impressive performances on his return earn him senior national team call-ups and has now put himself in the frame for another move abroad.
The defender is reported to be on the radar of Middle East clubs and he can enhance his chances if he gets a Harambee Stars call-up for the CHAN 2024 tournament and performs well in August.
Philemon Otieno
)
Club captain and one of the longest-serving players at the club, having joined in 2017, right-back Philemon Otieno looks to have come to the end of his stay at K’Ogalo.

Why leaving Gor Mahia at the end of the season will be a 'big blow' for Philemon Otieno
Otieno, whose contract was extended by six months in December, is set to leave Gor Mahia when his deal expires at the end of the season.
Otieno was almost jettisoned in January after his contract expired in December 2024 but the uncertainty surrounding Ronney Onyango, leading to his eventual departure, promoted Gor Mahia to extend his deal until the end of the season, but after the poor campaign, it looks like a parting of ways is inevitable.
Ernest Wendo
)
Gor Mahia’s longest-serving player Ernest Wendo is another big name who looks to have played his last game in the famous green jersey.
Wendo, who has seven league titles since joining in 2015, was also close to exiting in January following the end of his deal last December but was given a six-month extension which has now expired.
All indications point to a departure from the club that he has served so diligently for the last decade.

BREAKING: Gor Mahia make U-turn over futures of Philemon Otieno & Ernest Wendo
The FKF Premier League champions have changed their mind regarding the futures of the long-serving players whose contracts had come to an end in December.
Chris Ochieng
)
Striker Christopher Ochieng was the man who was set to share the goalscoring burden with Benson Omala but he has not covered himself in glory since signing for Gor Mahia from Bandari in 2023.
In fairness to him, he was a bit-part player in his first season with the form of Omala making it difficult to dislodge him, but when the latter left for what proved to be an unsuccessful stint in Lebanon, an opportunity arose.
However, Ochieng has not grabbed it with both hands as he ended the season with just three league goals and the former Mathare United and Tusker FC striker could find himself pushed out to create room for new arrivals.
