"Congratulations to our defender Okeyo Brian who is graduating today from Kenyatta University with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Resource Management," Mathare United said in a congratulatory message.

The club went on to wish him success in his future endeavours.

"You are a true inspiration, Brian, congratulations again, and may the future shine even brighter for you," the club staed.

Okeyo, a former player in the FKF Premier League and a previous defender for Ushuru RFC, was reportedly considered for a move to Nairobi City Stars during the transfer window.

Although the transfer did not materialize, Okeyo had trained with City Stars during the pre-season and participated in the second edition of the Elite Pre-season Cup.

Mathare United currently hold the second spot in the league as they strive to secure a return to the top tier of Kenyan football.

Okeyo's academic achievement aligns with a positive trend in Kenyan football, with other players like SS Assad Elmond Kasaya and AFC Leopards' Clifton Miheso also recently graduating from different universities.
