Leopards striker Omune non-committal on future at club after tough season

AFC Leopards top scorer Victor Omune has remained non-committal on his future at the Kenya Premier League club next season.

The Harambee Stars striker has declined to state whether he will be donning ‘Ingwe’ colours in the 2024/25 season, after enduring a tough season with no guaranteed first eleven spot in the line-up.

“That one I can’t confirm anything for now. Only God knows what is at stake tomorrow and therefore nobody knows what tomorrow holds,” stated Omune.

He added, “If I will be playing outside Kenya, inside Kenya or AFC Leopards, I can’t assure you of anything. I think the time I am fit, people have seen what I am capable of doing on the pitch, and therefore the important thing maybe is to pray to God that I remain fully fit and injury-free next season.”

Omune scored a total of nine goals for the premier league heavyweights; eight in the league and one in the FKF Cup despite missing several matches and occasionally being used as a substitute.

“I didn’t start the season as a starter. Even before the injury, I was a substitute player.”

But maybe when I returned, it took time for me to regain match-fitness. All in all the most important aspect here is the team’s performance and results,” averred the soft-spoken forward.

Omune also attributed his lack of game time to injuries and falling out of favour with head coach Tomas Trucha.

According to the former KCB attacking midfielder, despite the rough ride last season, he is proud of the teamwork and the team spirit in the Leopards cage.

“The season has not been bad but tough. We fought hard and managed to finish in position five climbing all the way from the relegation spot,” he said.

AFC Leopards finished fifth on the log with 51 points, 21 behind winners and arch-rivals Gor Mahia.
