Macharia moved to Georgia in 2017 where he was snapped by FC Kolkheti Poti from National Super League side FC Talanta; the club having been home to midfielder Amos Nondi (now at Dila Gori) and Eric \u2018Marcelo\u2019 Ouma (now at AIK Fotboll).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has insisted Betsafe are the club’s sponsors and that Gor are now focusing on kit procurements.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have signed a very supportive contract with them [Betsafe]. They are going to be our sponsors and let there be no confusion on that issue,\u201d Rachier told the club\u2019s portal. \u201cAt the moment we are engaged at procuring new replica jerseys which will be sold to our fans, but immediately we will need the training kits for the club and this is an immediate thing so that we can have a new-look Gor Mahia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia are yet to start pre-season engagements given the social gathering and sporting activities ban still in force.<\/p>\n
