Wycliffe Otieno Onyango is a former Kenyan defender with Kenyan Premier League side Nairobi City Stars who recently retired[1] and now serves as an assistant coach at Mathare United F.C.

Career

[edit]

Wycliffe[2] formerly turned out for Kenya School of Law, Nairobi Stima and FC Kariobangi Sharks before joining Nairobi City Stars in July 2019.

He formed a formidable defensive partnership[3] with Salim Abdalla in the 2019-20 National Super League season as Nairobi City Stars went on to earn promotion to Kenya's top tier league for the next season.

He stayed on[4] after the team's promotion to the Premier League, and added one more season[5][6] to feature in the 2021-22 FKF PL.[7]

He called it a day[8] at season end and went on to seek his coaching badges moving away from his earlier passion of being an anchor.[9] He is now the assistant coach of Kenyan Premier League side Mathare United F.C. since the beginning of the 2022-23 season.[10]
