Onyango joins Gor Mahia on a free transfer as revealed by Nairobi City Stars chief executive officer Patrick Korir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is the kind of player you never want to let go. Good-hearted, straightforward, and the type that just came to the ground, performed his role with a 150 percent commitment and went home,\u201d Korir told the Star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe never took losses kindly, he&#8217;d go straight to a corner, look down, and never wanted anyone to talk to him for even up to an hour. The offer from Gor came at a time he was extending his contract with Simba wa Nairobi for the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Korir noted that it was in Onyango\u2019s best interest to take up the Gor Mahia offer. \u201cHe informed us about the approach and we sat and reasoned. We gave him our full blessings to make the move and we wish him the very best as he turns from blue to green,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, newly-promoted Premier League side Murang\u2019a Seal have parted ways with six players. Coach Vincent Nyaberi said among those released are Eric Sinje, Alvin Odoyo, John Mwangi, Cedric Atsango and Gideon Were.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in the process of signing six players. They will join us on Monday when we start our pre-season. I didn\u2019t want to overhaul the squad because I have a good team,\u201d said Nyaberi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
