Ernest Wendo, the midfield maestro of Gor Mahia, has etched his name in the annals of Kenyan football history by clinching his seventh league title with the club. This remarkable achievement not only underscores his exceptional talent and dedication but also solidifies his status as one of the most decorated players in the storied history of Gor Mahia.
Ernest Wendo’s journey with Gor Mahia began in 2014 when he joined the club from Bidco United. From the outset, Wendo’s presence in the midfield was undeniable. His ability to control the tempo of the game, break down opposition attacks, and provide crucial assists quickly endeared him to the fans and coaching staff alike. Over the years, Wendo has been a linchpin in the squad, consistently delivering top-tier performances.
Winning a league title is no small feat, and securing seven is a testament to both individual and team brilliance.

The titles in 2017, 2018, and 2019 followed, each season highlighting Wendo’s growing influence and leadership on the pitch.
The 2020 season was particularly challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Gor Mahia’s resilience saw them clinch the title once again. The triumphs in 2022 and 2023 further cemented Wendo’s legacy, with the midfielder playing a pivotal role in maintaining Gor Mahia’s dominance in Kenyan football.
