The striker, who joined the soldiers from National Super League leaders Migori Youth during the off-season transfer window, has adapted quickly to life in the top flight and established himself as a key figure in the team’s attack. His hunger, movement and composure in front of goal have given Ulinzi a cutting edge in crucial moments.

November proved to be a particularly productive month for Okoth, as he contributed directly to four goals for Ulinzi Stars.

He opened the scoring with a decisive screamer in the narrow 1-0 victory over APS Bomet, a match where his ability to capitalize on limited chances made the difference.

The striker then produced his most eye-catching display in the 3-1 win against Sofapaka, where he scored twice and also provided an assist, underlining his all-round attacking contribution.

Beyond the goals and assists, Okoth’s work rate and attacking intent were evident throughout the month. Averaging 13 shot attempts per match, he constantly tested opposition goalkeepers and forced defenders into errors, creating space not only for himself but also for his teammates.

His consistency and influence did not go unnoticed, earning him a well-deserved place in the SportPesa League Team of the Week.

The competition for the November award was intense, with Okoth edging out strong contenders including Shabana FC goalkeeper Stephen Ochieng’, Murang’a SEAL defender Paul Ngugi and APS Bomet forward Hansel Ochieng’.

Each nominee had an impressive month in their own right, but Okoth’s direct impact in decisive matches ultimately set him apart.

As part of his reward, Okoth received a customized trophy from league sponsors SportPesa, alongside a cash prize of KES 50,000. The award serves as further motivation for the striker, who is enjoying the most productive spell of his career so far.

Despite Ulinzi Stars suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to KCB in their last outing, Okoth was once again on the scoresheet, continuing his fine scoring run.

He will now be eager to build on that momentum when Ulinzi Stars host AFC Leopards today,18th December,2025 at the Ulinzi Sports Complex from 3:00 PM.
