Nairobi City Stars midfielder Vincent Owino will stay on at the club for another two seasons until the close of the 2025/26 season.
Owino joined City Stars during last season’s mid-transfer window on a one-year deal from FC Talanta – alongside Dennis Oalo – at a time when the team was in the relegation zone.
“We are more than happy that Vincent has chosen to extend his stay at City Stars. He is one of our best performers and very key to our setup. He made the right decision,” said head coach Nicholas Muyoti.
Owino said: “City Stars is my home and the best place for my career growth. That made deciding to extend the contract easy for me. I can now focus on improving my performance and that of the team.”
Owino scored three times and had two assists in 14 second-leg games as he clocked 1,123 minutes last season.
He is the current top scorer this season with six goals. He has three assists. He has featured in all 19 games played so far, clocking 1,477 minutes.
Meanwhile, skipper Calvin Masawa has rued the red card conceded against AFC Leopards which will see him miss two games, against Shabana and Bandari.
It was his first since landing at City Stars in 2011. Masawa was sent off after a last-man challenge on an AFC Leopards' breakaway forward.
Leopards' two second-half goals ended Simba wa Nairobi’s seven-game winning streak.
“I had a clean bill since joining the Premier League. This has flawed my record. It’s happened and there’s nothing much I can do about it. Though I didn’t feel the incident deserved that kind of punishment," said Masawa.
