“The target of every player when he joins Gor Mahia is to help the team win trophies. Nothing else. So, I think that is my main objective.

At the end of the day, when you retire from your career, your titles are what will count. So, I will be grateful if I add more to my trophy cabinet,” commented Ochieng.

Ochieng recently scored a brilliant goal from outside the box to help K’Ogalo beat Kariobangi Sharks 1-0.

The vital win ensured the record FKFPL champions maintained their seven-point lead at the top of log as well as their unbeaten run.
