Hopefully, we can keep this going especially in the CAF Champions League where I hope we can get to the group stages,\u201d Mieno told <em>Capital Sport<\/em><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beating Esperance will be a tall order should Kogalo play them. Mieno&#8217;s experience playing in the Tunisian league will be useful.\u00a0 The vastly experienced Mieno has played for KCB, Sofapaka, Club Africain, Azam, AFC Leopards and Tusker.\u00a0 Gor Mahia have tried to sign him in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel happy to be here and so far it has been very positive. I am still learning my new team-mates and I want us to do great things together. Winning the league is also a priority but right now it is just taking a game at a time,\u201dhe continued.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Dylan Kerr for his part is satisfied with the performance of the new signings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a very good problem for me because now no one can afford to sleep. Everyone knows their position can be taken by anyone else. It is now up to them to fight for the jersey and show me they want to play for K\u2019Ogalo,\u201d the coach said.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia start their KPL campaign against Nakumatt on Saturday. They will then play AS Vegeterianos the following weekend. Should they win they will face off with Esperance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is going to be a very tough season and we have to be prepared to give our all. Nakumatt is a very tough team and they should give us a challenge which will prepare us well for Continental Football. We just need to give our best,\u201d Kerr added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/mieno-targets-group-stage\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia&#8217;s new signing Hmphrey Mieno is setting a place in the 2018 Africa Champions league as his primary target<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[518],"class_list":["post-10360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-humphrey-mieno"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10360"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10361,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10360\/revisions\/10361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
