Onyango also walked away with the league’s award for the best goalkeeper after keeping 15 clean sheets.

The awards held by DStv yesterday saw Onyango beat off competition from three other goalkeepers.

The keeper who couldn’t hide his excitement announced the news on his social media pages.

“It was one hell of a season hampered with injuries but managed to sail through. I dedicate this award to my family. Would like to thank the people who have worked with me, who have built me, my head coaches, our goalkeeper coach, my teammates & my fellow goalkeepers. We won.” Onyango posted.

Onyango has had a brilliant career plying his trade down in the Cape and it’s something he will always be proud of.
