Gor Mahia Signs Byrne Omondi: Rising Goalkeeper Joins from Bandari Ahead of 2025/26 Season

Gor Mahia, Kenya’s most celebrated football club, has strengthened its squad with the signing of Byrne Omondi, a promising goalkeeper from Bandari FC. The acquisition was officially announced in August 2025 as Gor Mahia prepares for the upcoming FKF Premier League season and continental competitions.

Byrne Omondi has been a standout performer for both Bandari and the Harambee Stars, particularly during the ongoing African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024. His impressive form is highlighted by two clean sheets in three matches, including crucial shutouts against two-time CHAN champions DR Congo and Morocco. This strong performance at a continental level brought Omondi into the spotlight as one of Kenya’s top goalkeeping prospects.

The move to Gor Mahia marks a significant step in Omondi’s career, joining one of Kenya’s top clubs ambitious to reclaim its dominance in the league. His presence is expected to invigorate Gor Mahia’s goalkeeping department, fostering healthy competition and bolstering the team’s defensive strength.

Gor Mahia’s Deputy Patron, Eliud Owalo, expressed optimism over the new signings, praising the Harambee Stars players for their national team performances. Omondi’s signing is a clear signal of Gor Mahia’s intent to build a competitive squad capable of succeeding on both domestic and continental fronts.

With his youth, agility, and proven ability to perform under pressure, Byrne Omondi is poised to play a crucial role in Gor Mahia’s campaign as they aim for silverware in the 2025/26 season.
