Tusker have completed their first signing of the off season by adding the two-capped Harambee Stars midfielder to their ranks.
Tusker have made a bold statement of intent ahead of the 2025/26 FKF Premier League season by landing the signature of one of the league’s standout performers — Vincent Otieno Owino — from Nairobi City Stars.
The 25-year-old midfield dynamo, who was City Stars’ top scorer in 2023/24 with eight goals, followed that up with five goals in the just-concluded 2024/25 season, continuing to enhance his reputation as a consistent and goal-threat midfield presence.
Owino has penned a two-year deal with the 12-time Kenyan champions and is expected to be a cornerstone of Charles Okere’s project to reclaim league dominance from recent champions Gor Mahia and Kenya Police FC.
