Tusker Send Gor Mahia, Kenya Police Early Warning After Signing Mercurial Harambee Stars Attacker

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.

Speaking after sealing the move, a visibly delighted Owino said:

“I’m honoured to join Tusker FC, a club with great history and ambition. This is a big step in my career and I’m ready to give everything on the pitch to help the team achieve its goals,” Owino told the club’s media after signing.

“I want to grow here, win trophies, and learn from the experienced players and coaches around me.”

Coach Charles Okere was equally bullish about the club’s new acquisition, saying:

“Vincent is a player we’ve monitored closely. He brings balance, grit, and intelligence to our midfield. He’s young, hungry, and a perfect fit for our system.”

Tusker, who last won the league in 2021, have struggled to keep pace with the likes of Gor Mahia and the fast-rising Kenya Police.

Last season, they dwindled in the title race with three games to go, losing 7-1 to Sofapaka in embarrassing fashion, which allowed Police to go on and win their maiden title, while Gor Mahia settled for second place,

With Owino now in their ranks, the Brewers are making it clear — the 2025/26 title race is wide open, and they are gunning for it.

Otieno has made a significant impact at Nairobi City Stars after joining in mid‑2023/2024 from FC Talanta. 

A product of Rongo Youth Club, Owino progressed through the Kenyan football pyramid, developing his game at Karatina Homeboyz and Fortune Sacco before excelling in the top flight.

At City Stars, he quickly became a key figure in midfield, making his debut in March 2023 and scoring his first goal against Wazito shortly after . 

He finished the 2023–24 FKF Premier League season as City Stars' top scorer, bagging eight goals, and followed up with five goals in 2024–25 — despite playing in midfield. 

Known for his composure, passing accuracy, tactical intelligence, and ability to contribute in attack, Owino has established himself as one of the league’s most promising talents.

He has also earned recognition at the international level, making appearances for the Kenya national team during the 2024 African Nations Championship qualifier against South Sudan.
