Henry Ochieng: Championship side Watford confirm signing of Kenya U23 midfielder on loan

Championship side Watford have confirmed the signing of Kenya U23 starlet Henry Ochieng until the end of the season.

Although the midfielder was raised in England, his parents were born in Kenya. Ochieng was given a Harambee Stars call-up in November 2017 by former head coach Stanley Okumbi for the Sierra Leone Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers but he did not play because the match was cancelled.

He made his debut for the U23 side against Mauritius one year later after his national team call-up during an Afcon qualifying match.
