AFC Leopards secured the signing of attacker Ovella Ochieng as the FKF Premier League transfer window closed earlier this week.

Ovella has been without a club since leaving South Africa’s Richards Bay FC. His move comes months after the South African club was handed a transfer ban by FIFA for failing to meet his financial obligations.

Ovella becomes the fifth key signing for Leopards, joining Sydney Lokale (FC Saint Eloi Lupopo, Congo DRC), Peter Maker Mabok (Radnicki SM, Serbia), Julius Masaba (Kariobangi Sharks FC), and Samuel Semo Mbaja (Murang’a Seal FC).

Meanwhile, Kevin Kimani and Christopher Koloti are among the players who have departed on loan deals.
