Gor Mahia has apparently signed Jacob Keli from Nkana FC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gor Mahia is a respected club and I am happy to be part of the team known for its passionate fans and admirable history,\u201d an excited Keli told michezoafrika.com. I feel excited to be back home in the local league and look forward to giving my best for my new club\u201d he said to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Only yesterday, other reports suggested that Keli was headed to Bandari.  <\/p>\n<p>Signing a striker of Keli&#8217;s caliber is important considering that the club has lost Kagere, Timothy Otieno and will at some point soon lose Michael Olunga. <\/p>\n<p>Jacob Keli Mutunga first burst into the limelight when he played for KCB in 2013 and ended up as the top scorer in the Kenya Premier League with 17 goals. He then joined AFC Leopards in 2015 before leaving to join the Zambian outfit. During the previous transfer season he was rumoured to be joining Gor Mahia and even attended an event hosted by chairman Ambrose Rachier. He joined Nkana FC in July of 2015 in the Zambian mid-season on a two year contract. However he was unable to settle into a regular starting position in the Zambian side. <\/p>\n<p>Keli has partnered with Olunga at national team level such as when Kenya played against Cape Verde and again in the CECAFA senior challenge cup. They therefore have a level of familiarity. Coach Frank Nuttall has proven that if given time, he can create good cohesion between strikers. <\/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-signs-jacob-keli\/\"\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>In a bid to bolster the attack which has recently lost Meddie Kagere and Timothy Otieno.
