Benson Omala reunites with younger brother Duncan at Nairobi United

The 24-year-old former Gor Mahia forward officially joined the Naibois on Thursday following his return to Kenya from a short spell with Cambodian side Visakha FC.

The reunion marks a rare and compelling family storyline in Kenyan top-flight football, with the Omala brothers set to share a dressing room and the same attacking ambitions.

For Benson, the move is not only about reviving his career but also about walking a new chapter alongside family as he seeks stability after a challenging period abroad.

Benson recently parted ways with Visakha FC by mutual consent in December 2025, just months into a three-year contract signed in July.

During his time in Cambodia, he featured in eight league matches and scored three goals before both parties agreed to an early separation. His return home opens the door to a fresh start, now strengthened by the presence of his younger sibling at Nairobi United.

The elder Omala brother brings with him a wealth of experience and pedigree. He made his name at Gor Mahia, where he emerged as one of the league’s deadliest forwards, winning the FKF Premier League Golden Boot in back-to-back seasons and scoring 45 goals for the record champions.

His performances earned him regular Harambee Stars call-ups and established him as a feared presence in opposition penalty areas.

While Benson’s overseas ventures in Sweden, Lebanon and Cambodia were disrupted by instability, unpaid wages and paperwork setbacks, his talent has never been in doubt.

Nairobi United now offer a platform for both brothers to grow, with Benson expected to mentor Duncan while also rediscovering his own sharpness.

For Nairobi United, the Omala reunion is more than sentiment. As KPL and CAF Confederation Cup debutants, the club is building a competitive identity, and the presence of two brothers driven by shared ambition adds a powerful edge.

For Benson Omala, reuniting with Duncan represents a reset built on trust, family and the hunger to once again light up Kenyan football.
