The 2025/26 FKF Premier League is heating up, and one name keeps popping up on everyone’s lips – Joseph Irungu Waithira (“King Joe”) of Murang’a Seal FC.
With 13 goals so far, Waithira is firmly in control of the Golden Boot race, showcasing lethal finishing and smart movement that make him the striker every defender dreads. Meanwhile, Humphrey Katasi of AFC Leopards is setting the standard between the posts, leading the Golden Glove race with 10 clean sheets. And in the world of assists, Ovella Ochieng of Nairobi United is proving just how crucial a playmaker can be, topping the charts with 5 assists.
Waithira’s form this season has been unstoppable. He leads the pack with 13 goals, followed by Paul Okoth (Ulinzi Stars) with 9, while Felix Oluoch (Gor Mahia) and Philip Wasai (APS Bomet) sit on 7 goals each.
A tight chase behind them, including Ebenezer Adu-Kwaw (Gor Mahia), Bryan Migiro (Shabana FC), Eric Kapaito (Tusker FC), and Humphrey Omondi (Kariobangi Sharks), all on 6 goals, ensures the Golden Boot race remains fiercely competitive.
Scoring isn’t just about striking; it’s about vision and teamwork. Ovella Ochieng leads the assists chart with 5, while Samuel Ssenyonjo (AFC Leopards), Jim Owili (Mara Sugar), Paul Ochuoga (Gor Mahia), Thomas Wainaina (Bidco United), Peter Thiong’o (Kakamega Homeboyz), Tobias Otieno (Kenya Police FC), and Tony Musa (Murang’a Seal) all sit on 4 assists each. Their creativity is shaping games and turning chances into crucial goals.
A solid defense starts with a great goalkeeper.
Humphrey Katasi has been rock-solid, keeping 10 clean sheets and leading the Golden Glove race. Close behind are Job Ochieng (Kenya Police FC) and Stephen Otieno (Shabana FC) with 9, while Allan Ngeleka (Bandari FC), Byrne Omondi (Gor Mahia), and Kevin Ouru (Mathare United) have 8.
