Kenyan Premier League giants Gor Mahia have secured the signature of Ugandan international forward Denis Omedi on a two-year deal, the club confirmed on Friday evening.
The 2024/2025 season has been one of change for the Uganda Cranes striker, who became a free agent following his departure from Rwanda's APR FC, where he featured last season. After weeks of speculation linking him with a return to Uganda's KCCA FC, Omedi has instead opted for a fresh challenge across the border in Nairobi.
Gor Mahia announced the acquisition via their official social media platforms, welcoming the forward with an enthusiastic statement:
"We are delighted to confirm the signing of Ugandan striker Denis Omedi; the Ugandan goal machine has put pen to paper and is ready to light up the green and white. Welcome to the fortress Omedi."
The "fortress" refers to the club's iconic home ground, where fans will now expect the 26-year-old to deliver goals and attacking flair. Omedi is no stranger to East African football; prior to his spell in Rwanda, he made a name for himself in the Uganda Premier League with Kitara FC and Booma FC, where his pace and finishing earned him a call-up to the national team.
His arrival at Gor Mahia represents a significant boost for the record league champions, who are keen to reinforce their attacking options as they pursue both domestic glory and continental qualification. Omedi is expected to link up with his new teammates immediately and could feature in upcoming fixtures as the club looks to integrate him into their system.
The move marks a new chapter in Omedi's career, one that places him on one of the region's biggest stages—and, for Ugandan fans, a chance to watch their Cranes star shine in the Kenyan limelight.
