Jobita first came to the limelight in 2012 while playing for Kakamega high school along with Timothy Otieno. He was instrumental in enabling Kakamega qualify for the national championships with several crucial goals most notably in the provincial semi-finals against Mukumu in which he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 win. Following his performance at the nationals, he was selected to the Kenya U17 team that played in the Pan-African Airtel Championship.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013 he played in the KPL U19 and was a key performer as Western Stima won the tournament. In 2014 he was promoted to the senior team. Jobita is an attacking midfielder who has scored several goals for Western Stima. His further who joined Gor Mahia around 1990 found the going tough and was unable to get sufficient playing time because in those days, players rarely left for greener pastures. As such the club was laden with experienced players at his position. However the younger Jobita is certain to make an impression at Gor Mahia.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia are also said to be interested in signing Muhoroni Youth defender Wellington Ochieng. The club deems him to be worth Ksh 500,000. However Muhoroni Youth Chairman Moses Adagala is adamant that Gor Mahia must part with Ksh 2 million for the player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The player is good and we value him at Ksh.2 million. If they are serious about signing the player then they should meet his valuation or offer us a figure we can consider&#8221;, Adagala told Futaa.com.<\/p>\n<p>With Gor Mahia paying an arm and a leg for players, it will be interesting to see if they let Khalid Aucho go away for free as they did with Ali Abondo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-june-3\/\"\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>Baron Oketch Jobita is officially the first player acquired by Gor Mahia during the June 2016 mid season transfer season.<\/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":[429],"class_list":["post-8540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-baron-oketch-jobita"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540","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=8540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8541,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8540\/revisions\/8541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
