The winger recently ended his brief stint in the United Arab Emirates after mutually terminating his contract with Dubai-based club Al Nasr a few weeks ago, before returning to Kenya and signing with Migori Youth.
The NSL leaders have now loaned him to K’Ogalo, where he will reunite with teammate Ben Stanley Omondi, who is currently on loan at the club.
The 20-year-old attacker initially joined Al Nasr in September 2024 after impressing during a series of trials and friendly matches that highlighted his pace, attacking intent and eye for goal.

His performances convinced the club’s technical bench, earning him a three-year contract following his move from Migori Youth.
At the time, Al Nasr outlined a clear development pathway, confirming that Owande would initially feature for their U23 side as he adapted to the club’s structure and environment.
However, only months into the project, both parties agreed to part ways.
While neither side publicly disclosed the reasons for the separation, sources close to the player indicate the termination was amicable, with Owande granted the freedom to explore other opportunities as he continues his development.
A product of Migori Youth, whom he joined at just nine years old, Owande has often credited the club for shaping his career.
