Omondi started between the sticks during Gor Mahia's FKF Charity Shield cup win over Kakamega Homeboyz last Saturday.
Gor Mahia head coach Johnathan McKinstry has revealed why the club has four goalkeepers competing for one spot following the signing of Kevin Omondi from Sofapaka.
Youngster Caleb Omondi, 20, spent a majority of last season as backup to Golden Glove winner Gad Mathews, but has been the man between the sticks during their pre-season preparations in the latter's absence.

Gor Mahia shift training base to state-of-the-art facility out of for 23/24 FKFPL season
McKinstry has hailed the facility, saying his boys will practically be like playing in a European football training base which will take their game to another level.
The towering custodian looked assured in goal, although he should have done better with Homeboyz’s equaliser during regulation time, as he failed to safely catch the ball before it allowed Eric Ambunya to find the back of the net.
“Young Caleb is a great goalkeeper. He is only 19,20 years of age. I felt bad for him because you cannot assign fault for their equalising goal because the wall has to do better, but if he had made that save, it would have been world-class,” McKinstry told Pulse Sports.

Mathews has been away on leave of absence to sort out some personal issues.
“Dolf Junior Owino is also another goalkeeper we had who went through a nasty ACL injury last season meaning we missed him a lot but he is back. Once Gad is back, we will have four quality goalkeepers who are fighting it out for the number one spot.”
McKinstry has challenged Omondi to keep his shirt, citing his rule in football, which is to have players “keep the shirt” if they are the ones currently holding it.
