Former Gor Mahia and Sony Sugar goalkeeper Shaban Odhoji has joined Zambian Premier League side, Napsa Stars after pasting ways with Awendo based Millers Sony Sugar.
The custodian heads to Zambia as a free agent after parting ways with Sony Sugar following their relegation from the Kenyan Premier League last year after failing to honor three league matches.
The custodian has been with the Millers for a few months having joined them at the start of the season following his release by Gor Mahia at the end of 2018/19 season, his place was taken by Tanzanian David Mapigano.
He moved to Awendo and became the team’s first-choice custodian until the team was relegated from the Kenyan Premier League rendering all players as free agents.
Nasa has now confirmed Odhoji’s arrival through a statement posted on their official social media pages.
“Shaaban is a Pensioner. We are delighted to welcome Kenyan National Odhoji Shaaban who joins Napsa Stars FC from Gor Mahia FC. Shaaban is a Goalkeeper. Welcome to Napsa Stars FC Shaaban,” read the tweet posted on Tuesday morning.
Shabana has turned out for several clubs in the Kenyan Premier League before his move to Zambia. He has previously played for AFC Leopards, Muhoroni Youth, Nakuru All-Stars, Ushuru FC and Gor Mahia.
His move to Zambia increases the number of Kenyans playing their football in the southern-central African nation. John Makwatta, Jesse Were, David Owino, and Ian Otieno play for Zesco United. Harun Shakava, Duke Abuya, Duncan Otieno and Musa Mohammed play for Nkana Red Devils. Victor Majid plays for Mufulira Wanderers.
