Kenedy Vidic Onyango Ouma is a Kenyan defender who features for Kenyan Premier League side Gor Mahia F.C. He formerly turned out for Sony Sugar F.C., Shabana F.C., F.C. Talanta, Nairobi Stima F.C., Nakumatt FC, Posta Rangers F.C., Kakamega Homeboyz F.C., and Nairobi City Stars.
Career
Kenedy started his club journey with the Sony Sugar U19 side in 2011. He was later loaned out to lower-tier side Shabana F.C. and then moved to the Kenyan City to join Nairobi Stima F.C.
He moved to the Kenyan topflight in 2013 after joining the now-defunct Karuturi Sports for the first leg before moving to second-tier side F.C. Talanta for the second leg. After a full season at the club, he moved to another second-tier side, Nakumatt FC until 2017.
He then joined Posta Rangers FC at the start of the 2018 season. Prior to that move, he had been rumored to be on his way to multiple league champions Gor Mahia F.C.
After, he returned westward, to Kakamega Homeboyz, and went on to complete the 2018/19 and 2019/2020 seasons before returning to Nairobi to join the freshly promoted Nairobi City Stars on an initial two-year contract before extending it further for the 2022/23 season. He scored his maiden goal for the club in October 2021 against Wazito F.C.
In July 2023, Onyango made the big move to Gor Mahia F.C. after running down his contract with Nairobi City Stars at the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
