Football Kenya Federation Premier League top scorer Ryan Ogam has promised to work hard and achieve his season’s targets.

Ogam’s promise comes after beating stars from other sports to win the Sports Journalist Association of Kenya Sports Personality awards for December.

The Tusker attacker enjoyed a scintillating form in December, scoring six league goals in five games.

The fine run lifted his overall haul to 15 goals, cementing his place on top of the scoring charts. Francis Kahiro ranks second with nine goals.

The in-form former Rainbow FC star has promised to draw more inspiration from the recognition.

“I am delighted to win this award, and it is a huge encouragement because it shows there are people who see and recognize the work that we do. This will be a motivation for me to keep working hard to achieve the targets I have set for the season,” Ogam said as quoted by the club media.

To bag the accolade, Ogam beat Olympics 5,000m and 10,000m champion Beatrice Chebet, who broke the World 5km record on December 31, 2024, in Barcelona.

The contest attracted sports personalities from varied disciplines, including the newly crowned East Africa Inter-Parliamentary Games People Living With Disability (PWD) darts champion, Ruth Museo.

Nairobi City Thunders duo of Garang Ding and Albert Adera, who guided the team to becoming the first Kenyan side to qualify for the Africa Basketball League (BAL), also made the shortlist.

Ogam and Tusker FC will be out to extend their dominance further as league action resumes this weekend for round 19 ties.

The Ruaraka-based side will be up against fourth-placed KCB FC on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.
