He is no stranger to scoring goals, having led the Kenya Premier League in scoring in 2013 with 17 goals. Keli has expressed an eagerness to prove his worth in the green Kogalo jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am eager to return to the Kenyan Premier League and I really want to to score many goals for Gor. I know I have that ability and just ask for support from the fans. They are a big part of this big club,\u201d Keli said to the KPL website.<\/p>\n<p>Playing for Gor Mahia almost always brings out the best in many players. Olunga reached soaring heights after he played for Gor Mahia. Sserunkuma was called to the Uganda national team after he played for Gor Mahia. Now Keli also believes that playing for this storied club will bring out the best in him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGor Mahia is a big club with ambitions and it performs year in year out.
