The 24 year old has been training with Gor Mahia. He previously played for Thika United, and had two stints with KF Tirana of Albania. In his teen years, he had tryouts with Ravenna in Italy and the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Kahata is known for his immaculate ball control and ability to drive the team like an engine. There is yet to be any confirmation from club officials. Details of the contract and length are not available.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia are also pursuing the signature of national team central defender David Ochieng &#8220;Cheche&#8221;. A report on futaa.com suggests that Frank Nuttall has directed the club to sign him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ochieng has been training with Gor since quitting his South Arabian club, Al Tawoon in June 2015 leading to speculations that he will join the Kenyan Premier League giants ahead of the 2016 season. &#8221; said Ronald Ngala to futaa.com<\/p>\n<h2>Friendlies<\/h2>\n<p>Gor Mahia beat Gatundu combined 5-1 at Gatundu stadium on Friday. Gor Mahia scored through Michael Olunga (2), Amos Nondi (2) and Timothy Otieno. Meanwhile Karim Nizigiyimana and Francis Kahata provided assists. Gor Mahia will face Mumbi Nationale in the final after archi rivals AFC Leopards pulled out.<\/p>\n<p>That Amos Nondi is featuring for the senior team is good news. He would be first player promoted from the U-19 team to the senior team. Having high quality players transition from the junior ranks to the senior team is what makes the U-19 team a worthwhile endeavor. Ideally there should be 2 or 3 players each year transitioning from the juniors to the seniors. <\/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\/gor-mahia-transfer-news-december-18\/\"\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>Reports suggest that Francis Kahata has joined Gor Mahia.
