FOOTBALL Gor Mahia coach puts ‘Simiti’ on alert after Philemon Otieno’s impressive show against City Stars
Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry has told defender Geoffrey ‘Simiti’ Ochieng to be on the lookout after Philemon Otieno put in an impressive show against Nairobi City Stars.
However, adapting to the rigors of European football presented its challenges, with Meja finding limited opportunities to display his talent on the pitch, accumulating just 14 minutes of playtime over a year, primarily as a late substitute.

Despite the setbacks, Meja's qualities as a tall, pacey center-forward with excellent back-to-goal play have remained evident.
