The talented midfielder joins forces with Kenya Police, providing a boost to their ambitious squad revamp.

Kenya Police FC have finally won the race to sign highly-talented midfielder Tyson Otieno from Kariobangi Sharks, beating out fierce competition from Gor Mahia. 

The big-spending law fnforcers have confirmed the acquisition of Otieno's signature, marking a significant coup for the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) side.

Gor Mahia, one of Kenya's most successful football clubs, had shown keen interest in bringing the gifted midfielder on board during the off-season transfer window.

 However, it was Kenya Police FC who emerged victorious in securing Otieno's services, much to the disappointment of their rivals.

"Tyson Otieno has penned down a contract with the dream club for many players," announced Kenya Police FC in a statement released on Saturday morning. 

The law enforcers expressed their delight at securing the signature of the highly sought-after midfielder, recognising the value he will bring to their team. 

Coach Francis Baraza, eager to revamp the midfield with quality and depth, views Otieno's arrival as a significant advantage.

The addition of Tyson Otieno to Kenya Police FC's ranks is expected to provide a substantial boost to their midfield department, complementing the recent acquisitions of former Azam FC player Kenneth Muguna.

The duo’s combined talents are set to create a formidable midfield lineup for the law enforcers, bolstering their chances in the upcoming FKFPL season.

Otieno's move to Kenya Police FC also holds a unique connection within the footballing realm, as he is the younger brother of Gor Mahia's Austin Odhiambo. 

This familial link adds an intriguing dimension to the player's transfer and sets the stage for potential future clashes between the brothers on the pitch, igniting sibling rivalry and captivating football enthusiasts across the nation.

The signing of Otieno represents Kenya Police FC's ambition to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the FKFPL. 

Their proactive approach in the transfer market, beating out Gor Mahia for the midfielder's signature, sends a strong message to their competitors. With Otieno's exceptional talent now at their disposal, Kenya Police FC aims to mount a serious challenge for honours in the upcoming season.

As the dust settles on this high-profile transfer saga, fans eagerly await the start of the new FKFPL season to witness the impact of Tyson Otieno in a Kenya Police FC shirt. 

Will he prove to be the missing piece in coach Baraza's midfield puzzle? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: Kenya Police FC have made a resounding statement with this acquisition, solidifying their intent to rise through the ranks of Kenyan football.
