On August 9, 2019, Gor Mahia announced that Kenneth Muguna would be their new captain for the 2018/19 season, replacing Harun Shakava who left the club after five seasons to join Zambian side Nkana.
Muguna, a former Western Stima midfielder, re-joined the team after an unsuccessful spell with Albanian side FK Tirana last year.
He expressed his delight at being named captain of the reigning Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions, saying, "I am happy to be named the captain of one of the most successful teams in East Africa and I am hoping we will work together as players and management to win more titles this season. I am aware of the huge responsibility that comes with captaining a club of Gor’s stature but I am banking on my experience in top flight football as well as the support of everyone at the club to ensure we succeed as a team," in an interview with Nation Sport.
He will be assisted by his former teammate at Western Stima, defender Joash Onyango. The team is set to leave for Burundi on Saturday morning ahead of their preliminary Caf Champions League first leg tie against Aigle Noir on Sunday afternoon.
