Kenya Police midfielder David ‘Messi’ Owino has been invited for trials at Taiwan club Tainan City in the quest for greener pastures.

He was instrumental as Police brushed aside Kakamega Homeboyz 3-0 in their first game of 3034, but he might not be playing in a Police shirt much longer after being invited for a chance to set up with the reigning Taiwan league champions.
