Discover the legendary saves of Harambee Stars goalkeeper Patrick Matasi whose penalty heroics secured victories and earned accolades across Africa.
Omune's uncertainty comes after a challenging season where he struggled to secure a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup.
"That one I can’t confirm anything for now. Only God knows what is at stake tomorrow and therefore nobody knows what tomorrow holds," stated Omune in an interview with Citizen Digital.
Despite his reservations about the future, Omune reflected positively on his performances when fully fit.
"If I will be playing outside Kenya, inside Kenya or AFC Leopards, I can’t assure you of anything. I think the time I am fit, people have seen what I am capable of doing on the pitch, and therefore the important thing maybe is to pray to God that I remain fully fit and injury-free next season," he added.
Omune scored a total of nine goals for the premier league heavyweights; eight in the league and one in the FKF Cup.

His contributions came despite missing several matches and frequently being used as a substitute.
"I didn’t start the season as a starter. Even before the injury, I was a substitute player. But maybe when I returned, it took time for me to regain match-fitness. All in all, the most important aspect here is the team’s performance and results," averred the soft-spoken forward.
His lack of consistent game time has been attributed to injuries and a complex relationship with head coach Tomas Trucha.
