Tusker FC has extended the contracts of two key players, captain Charles Momanyi and Ugandan striker Deogratious Ojok, for another season.
Momanyi, who joined Tusker three seasons ago, has been secured for an additional year following a contract extension signed last season. After Humphrey Mieno’s departure, Momanyi was appointed team captain.
Despite struggling with injuries for much of the first half of last season, he made a strong comeback, becoming a crucial player in the final matches and scoring two important goals. Momanyi, who joined Tusker FC from Gor Mahia in August 2021, has a distinguished career in Kenyan football with multiple league titles from both clubs.
Ojok has also committed to another season with the Ruaraka-based club. His extension comes after a challenging season marked by fitness issues due to injury. Despite this, Ojok had an impressive performance, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 13 matches.
Notably, he scored the first and last goals of the season against Bandari FC and Kakamega Homeboyz, respectively. Ojok expressed his excitement about the extension and is eager to stay fit next season, aiming to achieve double-digit goals for the former league champions.
“I am glad to have extended my contract and my hope is that I remain fit this season. I have worked so much on my physical fitness and hopefully, I will score double-digit goals,” Ojok told the club’s media.
Ojok initially joined Tusker FC in August 2021 on a two-year contract that was set to expire in 2023. The club acted swiftly to secure his services for the future by extending his contract until 2024.
