‘I have lost one of my football sons’ – Ex-Thika United coach Bryett on departed Oliech

Former Thika United and Nairobi City Stars head coach Tim Bryett has penned a moving tribute to his former striker Kevin Oliech.

Oliech, a younger brother to former Harambee Stars players Dennis Oliech and Andrew Oyombe, succumbed to cancer on Sunday in Germany on his way to the United States where he was headed for treatment.

Bryett worked with Oliech at Nairobi City Stars and Thika United and has described him as ‘one of the hardest working, professional, kindest, loyal and talented players’ he oversaw.

“The world should know how good this boy [Kevin Oliech] was, and taken from us too soon,” Bryett wrote on his Facebook page.
