Ochieng will spend the next three months trialing with the club in the hope he can secure a deal.
He emphasized the team's determination to redeem themselves, stating, "We have sort of a revenge we will try and take by getting all the three points in the game."

“Any team offered an eight-point lead with nine games to go would take it. So, we go into the next game against Nzoia in a good mood, ready to make amends and carry the day.”
K’Ogalo will be favourites to go past Nzoia, who are currently languishing at the bottom of the 18-team table with 17 points.
