They might not have made it to the 2025/26 FKF Premier League Team of the Season, but the quintet of Kelly Madada, Razel Omondi, Musa Oundo, James Kinyanjui and Humphrey Aroko impressed at least in the eyes of AFC Leopards midfielder Tyson Otieno.

The former Kenya Police FC midfielder, who made it to the Team of the Season, was quick to identify the players who stood out throughout the season.
Madada was sensational for AFC Leopards, where he played in midfield alongside Musa Oundo and Tyson Otieno as the trio led Ingwe to an impressive second-place finish on the log.
Razel Omondi, 16, who made his league debut this season, also announced his presence on the big stage with a bang, putting in impressive performances, including scoring a brace on the final day, attracting praise from Tyson.
“There is a kid at Sharks called Razel. He is onto something big,” said Otieno.
“I was also impressed by my midfield partners Madada and Oundo, James Kinyanjui, as well as Humphrey Aroko,” he added.

In the end, Aroko grabbed the Young Player of the Season award after finishing the season with 12 league goals for Kariobangi Sharks while also making it to the Team of the Season.
Tyson also took time to open up on his impressive season at AFC Leopards after a difficult spell with Kenya Police FC.
“The season has been great for me individually because the team performed better. Considering we came close to winning the title, it means the players gave their best, and that makes it successful for me as a player.
From the history of the team, it is one of the big teams in Kenya, but faded along the way, and so it was a season of awakening the dream which was so close, but let us see how next season turns out,” he stated.

For his troubles, he was the only AFC Leopards player who made it to the star-studded Team of the Season.
