Ochieng said: “I am happy to join Gor Mahia. it’s a big challenge because this is a club that has been performing well and is popular in the country,  so l have to work extra hard to help the team stay up there and deliver.

“I feel no pressure at all. I know most of the players in the team because we have played together previously. I believe they will guide me,” Ochieng’ added.

“My ambitions are to lift the local league title, do well in Caf matches as well as earn a call up to the national team.
