A top midfielder is set to leave Gor Mahia after attracting interest from Tanzanian and North African clubs during the offseason.
Details have emerged that Ghanaian midfielder Enock Morrison is set to depart Kenyan football giants Gor Mahia FC, barely months after joining the club.
The central midfielder is reportedly on his way out of the Nairobi-based outfit following their upcoming clash against Nairobi United, marking what could be his final appearance for the record 21-time Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) champions as per Africa Top Sports.
Morrison, who joined Gor Mahia at the start of the 2024/25 season, arrived as a free agent after being released by Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko.

Despite a strong individual campaign in the Ghana Premier League, the 25-year-old was not retained by Kotoko. His release puzzled many fans, considering his consistent performances and influence in midfield.
The former King Faisal and Asante Kotoko star quickly found a new home with Gor Mahia, penning a two-year contract aimed at bolstering the club's midfield ahead of their FKFPL and continental ambitions.

However, his stay in Kenya now looks to be short-lived, as interest mounts from other clubs on the continent.
Tanzanian Club and North African Sides Circle
According to sources close to the player, Morrison has attracted serious interest from an unnamed top-tier Tanzanian club.
Negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage, with the player reportedly open to making the move should the deal suit all parties involved.
In addition to the Tanzanian interest, two clubs from North Africa — regions known for their competitive leagues and lucrative packages — have also expressed strong interest in securing his signature.
Should Morrison depart Gor Mahia, it would mark yet another high-profile exit for the Kenyan side, who have seen a number of key players leave in recent seasons.
The midfielder's ability to dictate play and maintain composure under pressure made him a standout during his brief stint with K’Ogalo, and his departure would leave a significant void in the club’s engine room.

Interestingly, before sealing his move to Gor Mahia, Morrison was strongly linked with Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak.

Talks between the player’s representatives and the Accra-based club reportedly broke down over personal terms and guarantees about playing time, opening the door for Gor Mahia to swoop in with a more enticing offer.
The midfielder’s professionalism and work rate quickly endeared him to the Gor Mahia faithful, and despite a relatively short spell, he has become a fan favorite.
However, as the club prepares for next season and seeks to regain the FKFPL title they narrowly missed last term, Morrison’s looming exit could reshape their midfield plans.
Gor Mahia are yet to issue an official statement on the potential move, but insiders suggest the club is already eyeing potential replacements should Morrison depart.
His situation will be closely watched in the coming days, especially as the transfer window heats up across Africa.
