Former Kenyan Rugby Star Horace Otieno Joins the US Army
Former Kenyan rugby star Horace Otieno has joined the United States army.
Otieno, who played for both Kenya Sevens (Shujaa) and Kenya 15s (Simbas) in the international scene, broke the news through his social media pages on Thursday.
"This We'll Defend. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat," he wrote.
The 33-year-old retired from rugby in 2016, having played 123 matches for Kenya in the World Rugby Sevens Series between 2007 and 2014, scoring 215 points from 43 tries.
He was part of the Shujaa team that reached semi-finals at the World Rugby Sevens World Cup in Dubai (2009) and Moscow, Russia (2013).
Otieno started his professional career at Kisumu Rugby Club before moving to the national side Mwamba Rugby Club, where he played until his retirement.
He also worked as a Physical Education and Sports Coach at Peponi and Greensted International Schools.

Not news worthy

Really? who cares!!
Thank you @Mambo jambo it's not news if it's news could you write my story in the Marines for 19 years and 11 months and still serving.
@Dela - why not contact Mwakilishi to narrate your 19 years and 11 months story? No body is holding you back. Hi Devil Dog, stop being jealous of a new recruit. What’s your rank butter boy?? Hope you ain’t still a Private with the kind of attitude you are losing here.
You won’t be talking nonsense if you had served or still serving in the US marines for 19 years unless you are just a loser. The Marines I personally know are well behaved and not as lose as you little kid. You must be the last voice at Fort Lajune.
Brother man!Karibu sana na uzime mdomo, little do you know nitakuaona umeshika cardboard street fulani panhandling with inscription like " I am a veteran I need food,anything helps!
Your attitude sucks bigly. You ought to be ashamed of your ass self if this is what you can offer to others.
