Sofapaka FC have completed the signing of former AFC Leopards goalkeeper Ian Otieno.

 Otieno, 24, was out contract at Leopards.

He is expected to rival Ugandan shot-stopper Mathias Kigonya for the number one spot.

“I don’t expect things to be any easy. Look, Kigonya being the first choice goalie means he is good while the rest of the young men are coming up well. That means I have my work cut out in making the first team. But it is possible for a good measure if I work hard,” Otieno was quoted by the club’s website.

Otieno becomes the latest capture in a growing list of new signings to arrive at Sofapaka.

Already, Sofapaka have acquired services of Kepha Aswani (Nakumatt FC), Jackson Saleh (Western Stima) as well as Kariobangi Sharks duo Ibrahim Kitawi and Elli Asieche.
