Kenyan striker, Benson Omalla has rejoined Gor Mahia FC for his third stint with the club. This move comes after his recent departure from Lebanese side Al-Safa FC, where he terminated his contract.

Omala’s return to Gor Mahia is currently pending the approval of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC), a mandatory document for players transferring between countries. The ITC facilitates the official transfer of a player’s registration from one national football association to another, ensuring compliance with FIFA regulations.

The delay in obtaining the ITC means Omala is unable to participate in official matches for Gor Mahia until the clearance is granted. In the meantime, he is permitted to train with the team and participate in friendly matches. The club and its supporters are eagerly awaiting the completion of this process to see Omala back in competitive action.

Omala’s previous tenure with Gor Mahia was marked by significant achievements, including finishing as the top scorer in the 2023–24 Kenyan Premier League season with 19 goals. His return is anticipated to bolster the club’s attacking options as they strive for further success in domestic and continental competitions.

The timeline for the ITC approval is uncertain, as it involves coordination between multiple football associations and adherence to FIFA’s procedural requirements. Both Gor Mahia and Omala are hopeful for an expedited resolution to facilitate his prompt return to competitive play.
