Gor Mahia defender Kennedy Owino has reunited with his former Western Stima teammates on a permanent one-year deal.

The Kenya Premier League (KPL) champions confirmed the departure of the 24-year-old defender, who had joined them in September last year.

Owino, who had signed a three-year deal with the 19-time KPL champions, did not get enough playing time at the side.

“I want to thank Gor for the opportunity to represent them in the short period. I have been amongst some the best players in the country and the experience will be valuable as I continue my journey with Stima,” Owino said.

He added, “Things didn’t turn out as I expected but that’s how football works at times. I’m at home here and I am confident that together we are going to achieve greater things.”

Owino joins a Western Stima side that has not won their last five matches and are currently 17^th in the KPL standings, just five points ahead of bottom placed Zoo Kericho.

“There are new faces and since it’s a club I know well, I couldn’t turn down the chance of re-joining them,” he added.

Owino will be in contention to start as the team hosts City stars on Wednesday.
