Gor Mahia midfielders Rama Salim and Kevin Omondi will leave the country on Saturday for South Africa where they are expected to begin professional careers. The two players will depart immediately after their Kenyan Premier League match against Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) at Kasarani.

According to Gor Mahia Deputy Secretary General Anima Okech, the club received requests from the two to be release after Saturday’s match.

“They came to office and informed us that they will be leaving for South Africa after Saturday’s match. We are resigned to losing them and have to begin looking for other options.”

It is not yet clear which club Rama (Salim) is headed to but Kevin Omondi attended trials at South African top side Ajax Cape Town two months ago. The absence of the two will be a major set-back for Gor Mahia as they seek to defend Kenyan Premier League title this season.

Meanwhile Gor Mahia have re-signed midfielder Collins Okoth “Gattuso” on a year long deal. He will replace Anthony Akumu who recently went to Sudan for a loan deal.

Gattuso previously played for Gor Mahia during the Anaba Awono and Zedekiah Otieno era. But he left under acrimonious terms once accusing fans of ruining his career.

In the period since he left Gor Mahia he has retired from football twice, has been expelled from Sofapaka, left Tusker and Banadari.

Okoth when focused is a tenacious midfielder who will give opposing players nightmares.

    Hope Gatusso has realized that indiscipline does not help and cannot take him anywhere and has reformed. Otherwise umekaribishwa nyumbana.

    For God and my beloved club – Kogallo

    Are names of ready players I would expect the Technical team to bolster our team. Most of these players have played for Kenya Under 23 and under 21 teams.

    What we really lack is a creative midfielder who can hold and distribute to strikers the ball. I know we luvk money but some of us ready to pay for a player each to join Gor
