Ghanaian midfielder Enoch Morrison is taking the Kenyan Premier League by storm, racking up an astonishing 13 Man of the Match awards in just 23 league appearances for Gor Mahia F.C. this season.
The former Asante Kotoko star has become the heartbeat of the Kenyan champions’ title charge, delivering week after week with performances that have left fans and pundits searching for superlatives.
His latest statement came in Gor Mahia’s emphatic 3-0 victory over KCB, where he opened the scoring with a thunderous long-range strike that set his side on course for victory. That win restored Gor Mahia’s six-point lead at the summit, with Morrison’s influence proving decisive once again.
Thirteen Man of the Match awards in 23 games is a statistic that borders on the absurd. It means Morrison has been the standout player in more than half of his appearancesâa level of consistency that places him in pole position for the league’s Player of the Season award.
His work rate, vision, and growing goal threat have made him indispensable to Gor Mahia’s system. Whether dictating tempo from deep or bursting forward to influence attacks, the 25-year-old has found a home in East Africa.
Morrison’s journey to Kenya came via an acrimonious departure from Kotoko, with the midfielder later revealing that financial considerations played a major role in his decision.
He criticised the salary structure in Ghana, stating that no player in the local league earns more than 12,000 cedis, making it impossible for local clubs to compete with foreign offers.
He also expressed a desire to one day return and play for Hearts of Oak at the “right time”.
For now, though, Morrison is fully focused on delivering silverware in Kenya. With Gor Mahia sitting pretty at the top and their Ghanaian general pulling the strings, the 2025/26 season could end with the ultimate prizeâand Morrison’s name written all over it.
