“To the fans, I thank you for your continued support and I hope this season you will support us even more despite your absence from the stadium (due to COVID-19). We are hoping to bring smiles to our fans with title this season.”

Speaking to Pepeta about the new move, Mainge admitted that he had received some offers but felt he was better placed at leopards with his development.
“As a player when you give your best you’ll definitely have offers on the table but that didn’t unsettle me. I believe this is the club to propel me to greater heights and I hope that we can achieve something great. My main aim is to ensure that we participate in CAF competition and Im sure that if the current group can be together then that’s something we can do,” the Kakamega High School alumnus said.
The defender joined Leopards in 2018 and had a short stint with Slovakian side KF Pohronie.
