Frank Shines in Sweden, Ian Heads to South Africa, Silko Signs with Wigan
Former Gor Mahia defender Frank Odhiambo was on the scoresheet as AFC Eskilstuna beat Osteraker 2-0 in a friendly match on Saturday evening.
Frank, who is on loan at the club from top-tier club Djurgårdens IF, expressed his joy after the match.
“We stacking up on this loan.” He posted on Instagram.
Elsewhere, Harambee Stars goalkeeper Ian Otieno completed a move to PSL side Richards Bay from Zambia’s Zesco United. Otieno was an unused sub as the club lost 5-6 on post match penalties to Maritzburg in a cup game earlier today.

Highly-rated youngster Silko Omari Thomas Otieno also joined EFL League One side Wigan Athletic from Leicester City on loan until the end of the season.
He made his debut for Wigan yesterday in their draw with Blackburn Rovers in a pre-season friendly.
Silko Thomas' first touch in a Latics shirt is a disguised backheel perfectly into the path of Thelo Aasgaard and I've seen enough.
Belter.#wafc

The attacking midfielder came up through the Chelsea youth ranks and joined Leicester officially last season where he impressed. The move to Wigan is to guarantee him more playtime as he develops.
Silko has also been capped several times by England youth teams.
