Harambee Stars defender returns to Gor Mahia after successful stint in Asia
Omija played for the club at youth level before leaving for Kariobangi Sharks and then a stint abroad with Oman, where he won the Kings Cup last season.
Despite a less prolific period in India where he played for Shillong Lajong FC and later Churchill Brothers, Samb managed to score three goals in the I-League.
The departure of Tito Okello, who was Kenya Police's top scorer last season with 20 goals across all competitions, has left big boots to fill.
Okello's outstanding performance included 16 league goals and an additional four in the FKF Cup, playing a crucial role in securing the team's third-place finish in the league and their spot in the upcoming season's CAF Confederation Cup.
