Nairobi City Stars midfielder Vincent Owino says he is honoured after
signing for Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League side Tusker.
Tusker FC on Tuesday announced the signing of the talented midfielder, who penned a two-year contract with the Brewers ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Owino had an impressive campaign with City Stars, where he stood out as one of the most consistent midfield performers. However, Simba wa Nairobi were relegated to the National Super League.
Known for his composure on the ball, precise passing and tactical awareness, Owino is expected to bring both energy and stability at the heart of the Brewers’ midfield.
Owino expressed his excitement after joining one of the most successful clubs in Kenyan football. “I’m honoured to join Tusker FC, a club with great history and ambition,” he said.
"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. I want to grow here, win trophies, and learn from the experienced players and coaches around me,” he told the club's official website.
Tusker FC head coach Charles Okere welcomed the midfielder’s arrival, praising his work ethic and potential. “Vincent is a player we have monitored for some time. He brings balance, grit and intelligence to our midfield. He is young and hungry, and we believe he will fit well into our system and philosophy,” the tactician said.
Owino becomes the club’s first major signing of the transfer window as Tusker looks to strengthen key areas of the squad in preparation for a title charge next season. The club is also expected to part ways with several players who did not impress in the just-concluded season. The transfer window was opened on July 4 and will close on September 5.
