• Brian Onyango could be saying his goodbyes to Premier Soccer League club, Mamelodi Sundowns, as his contract expires this June

• In four years, Onyango made a total of 61 appearances in domestic and continental competitions, plus four DStv Premiership titles

Impressive Kenyan international, Brian Onyango, seems set to depart Mamelodi Sundowns as his contract expires at the end of June.

The centre-back joined the club in the summer of 2020 on a four-year deal from Premier Soccer League rivals, Maritzburg United.

Many criticised his signing as Onyango had not played for over a year following an injury at his former club.

He went on to enjoy four trophy-laden seasons with the outfit, picking up four DStv Premiership titles under coach, Rulani Mokwena.

His manager once expressed confidence in the defender but admitted that nobody is above making mistakes. Back in April, the tactician said, via SABC:

"Some of the fans who are booing Brian Onyango for his mistakes, if you were to follow them in their own professional space, you would pick up so many mistakes.

Mokwena also questioned why people had the tendency to berate others for making mistakes.

"I make more mistakes than Brian Onyango ever makes but he knows that I love him and I support him. He has my backing 100 per cent because he also protects me all the time."

Onyango has featured for Sundowns in a total of 61 matches across domestic and continental competitions.
