The news of Dan Owino's retirement from professional football was relayed by the club on its website on Friday.

Owino was very much a Wazito FC mainstay, having been part of the well-oiled campaign that powered the clubs rise through the ranks to top-flight Kenyan football.

“I have decided to call it a day.  It’s hard to say goodbye to my biggest dream (football) but I have to due to a niggling knee injury, I feel it’s time to move on to other things,” Owino said.

“It has been a decade at the club, I have been part of every achievement and challenge. We moved from the lower leagues to the top tier over the years. I am proud to have been part of all that. Making our debut in the Kenyan Premier League in 2018 was the highlight of my career I will always cherish that,” he added.

Owino took time to express his gratitude to the club's management and teammates on his departure.

He played for the now-folded Kangemi FC and Ushuru before making a move to the Wazito FC club where he worked with a number of coaches who included him in their plans.
