Harambee Stars legend Titus Mulama has asserted that Gor Mahia ace Alpha Onyango is primed for a maiden overseas stint following his commanding performances in the FKF Premier League.

The midfielder unleashed a potential Puskás contender to earn K’Ogalo a late equaliser against Nairobi United at Wang’uru Stadium on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The stunning strike extended Onyango’s rich vein of form, bringing his tally to five goals in six matches and placing him firmly at the top of the league’s scoring charts.

Onyango: A man in form

Onyango has been a revelation for the reigning champions, with his five-goal haul underlining his central role in Gor Mahia’s quest for a 23rd league title.

The former Gor Youth star previously played a quiet yet effective role in the national team setup during the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Though he has cycled in and out of Benni McCarthy’s national squad, he has remained consistent at the club level, anchoring Charles Akonnor’s side and establishing himself as Gor Mahia’s standout player following the off-season departures of Austin Odhiambo and Ghanaian midfielder Enock Morrison.

A product of the Makongeni Youth Sports Association, Alpha joined Gor Mahia as a schoolboy in 2017, and academic commitments initially delayed his full-time transition to the senior team. It finally came two years later. In the same year, he earned his first Stars call-up under coach Stanley Okumbi.

Since making his debut, however, he has cemented his place as an indispensable regular for Charles Akonnor.

Evaluating the player’s trajectory, Mulama noted that the midfielder has outgrown the local scene and earned the right to test himself in a more competitive environment abroad.

Denied move

Mulama’s assessment comes shortly after Onyango revealed that the K’Ogalo hierarchy “blocked” a potential move to the paid ranks following his strong international displays in 2024 due to contractual terms, though club management assured him they would not stand in his way when the next overseas opportunity arises.

Meanwhile, his evergreen form and his uncomplaining attitude serve as a powerful reminder of how professionals can overcome career disappointments through sheer hard work and the determination to turn setbacks into springboards.
