According to statistics released by Gor Mahia, this season he has continued to shine, leading the defending champions scoring charts with eight goals.

Harambee Stars goalkeeper trainer Moeneeb Josephs has hit out at the South African giants for not showing respect and sportsmanship following their recent league loss.
His latest heroics include back-to-back braces against Kariobangi Sharks—first in the FKF Premier League on March 5 at Dandora Stadium, and again later that week in the FKF Cup at the same venue against Githurai All Stars.
While Odhiambo has been the standout performer, Congolese striker Gedeon Bendeka, who joined the club at the start of the season, has also contributed with five goals.
Although he has yet to match the prolific form of former top scorer Benson Omala who he was brought in to replace, he remains a key piece in Gor Mahia’s attack.
Other scorers includes Christopher Ochieng and Musa Shariff on three goals each.

Olympic champion Gabby Thomas explains why she opted for a second job after finding out that there’s no enough money on the track.
Alpha Onyango, Bryson Wangai, Geoffrey Ochieng and Alphonce Omija all sit on two goals each.
With a game in hand and momentum on their side, Gor Mahia remain well-positioned to reclaim the top spot.
Their upcoming fixtures will be crucial, and their ability to maintain form—particularly with Odhiambo leading the charge—could be the difference between another league triumph or falling short in a fiercely contested title race.
