Oruchum has joined Tanzanian Premier League side Pamba Jiji after a short stint back in the FKFPL with Posta Rangers.
Kenyan defender Christopher Oruchum has embarked on a new journey, signing a two-year contract with the newly promoted Tanzania Premier League side Pamba Jiji Football Club.
This significant move comes after his departure from FKF Premier League team Posta Rangers and marks a return to the Tanzanian league where he previously had a short stint with Namungo SC.
Oruchum, who has been a pivotal player in Kenyan football, is a former back-to-back FKFPL champion with Tusker.

Gor Mahia defender Levin Odhiambo reacts to mixed debut in CECAFA Kagame Cup
Gor Mahia defender Levin Odhiambo made his debut in the CECAFA Cup impacting the game despite the team's mixed results.
His transition to Pamba Jiji is a strategic step in his career, aiming to leverage the competitive environment of the Tanzanian league to further his professional growth.
His journey, however, has not been without challenges; a recurring injury prevented a mid-season reunion with AFC Leopards. Despite this setback, Oruchum's resolve to continue his ascent in football remains unshaken.
Pamba Jiji earned their promotion to the Tanzania Premier League after finishing second in the Tanzania Championship with 67 points, just three behind champions Kengold FC.

Long-serving AFC Leopards winger Jaffari Owiti makes decision over his future
The attacker has announced his next move following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.
As they prepare for their debut season in the top-flight league, Pamba Jiji is making strategic acquisitions to strengthen their squad. Oruchum is one of several new players brought on board to bolster the team's prospects.
Oruchum launched his career at Thika United in 2015 before moving to AFC Leopards and then Tusker. He has also had two previous stints outside the country in Zambia and Tanzania.
He was also part of the KPL All Star team that travelled to Hull in 2017 for a friendly match.
The well-travelled defender took to his social media accounts to celebrate the new milestone in his career by quoting a verse from the book of Ezra 10:4 in the Bible, which says:
“Get up, for it is your duty to tell us how to proceed in setting things straight. We are behind you, so be strong and take action.”
