Vincent Otieno Owino is a Kenyan midfielder currently in the ranks of Kenyan Premier League side Nairobi City Stars,[1]and Kenya.[2]
Career
[edit]Owino started out at Rongo Youth Club before joining Karatina Homeboyz from where he made a move to Kenyan second-tier side Fortune Sacco FC in September 2019. He then switched to promoted FC Talanta for the 2021-22 FKF Premier League season.[3]
Midway through the next season he was off to relegation threatened[4] Nairobi City Stars on an initial one-year deal which he later re-upped for two and a half years.[5][6]
At City Stars, Owino[7] made his debut against Sofapaka FC in Ruaraka on 11 March 2023, and went on to score his maiden goal on 16 March 2023 against Wazito FC in Muhoroni.[8] He scored three times in 14 games during the second leg of the 2022-23 FKF Premier League season.[9]
With eight goals,[10] Owino top scored for City Stars in the 2023-24 FKF Premier League season though he has trained his sights of being the league's top scorer.[11][12]
With the league at the tail end of the 2024-25 FKF Premier League season, Owino[13] had registered four goals for City Stars, the last three coming in straight games against Mara Sugar FC, Gor Mahia, and Posta Rangers.[14]
International career

He was capped after making a cameo appearance against South Sudan in the first leg, first round tie played in Juba Stadium, Juba on 27 Oct 2024, and earned a second game in the reverse tie played a week later at Mandela National Stadium, Kampala.[15]
