Ian Otieno off to Zambia days after ‘signing’ for Sofapaka


Former AFC Leopards custodian Ian Otieno is headed to Zambia for trials just days after he was reported to have penned a long-term deal with  Sofapaka.

The solid shot stopper has been training with the 2009 Kenyan champions in pre-season since the start of January having been released by Leopards in November 2017.

Indeed, there were reports he had put pen to paper to join ‘Batoto ba Mungu’, with club pictures showing him donning the club jersey.

This, however, doesn’t seem to be the case.
