The defender has agreed to join the big-spending Singida Black Stars where he will link up with Kenyan colleagues Elvis Rupia and Joash Onyango.
Gor Mahia full-back Ronney Onyango is set to leave the club for Tanzanian side Singida Black Stars this month.
Onyango, who is a key member of the squad, has been lured by the big-spending Tanzanian side which is home to Kenyan stars Elvis Rupia and Joash Onyango with Gor Mahia secretary general Sam Ocholla confirming his impending departure.
“The player informed us a few weeks ago that he had agreed terms with Singida and we have been talking to them and indicated that we don’t have a problem letting him go. He will leave this month and join the Tanzanian side,” Ocholla told Mozzartsport.

Gor Mahia penalise Kitara on penalties to bag millions in epic friendly in Siaya
Both sides were awarded millions of shillings by both President William Ruto and Raila Odinga after Gor Mahia edged out the Ugandan outfit on penalties during the Luo Piny festival in Siaya.
Onyango’s departure will be a significant blow for Gor Mahia where he has made the right-back spot his own in the last two-and-a-half seasons, earning him a call-up to the national team where he was also a favourite of former Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat.
The former Wazito ace joined K’Ogalo in 2022 and has won two league titles although his stay has not been without its fair share of troubles.
Onyango was reported to be close to leaving the club last season following claims that an Italian club had expressed an interest but the deal ran into headwinds and also fell out with former coach Leonardo Neiva early this season over a disciplinary issue.

Embattled Gor Mahia player Ronney Onyango receives national team call-up despite club situation
The Gor Mahia player has been axed from the squad by Gor head coach Leo Neiva due to a 'lack of commitment'.
“We have identified five players to be let go. Those whose contracts are coming to an end we are not keen to renew them while those still on contracts we will be sending them on loan to other clubs so that they can get playing time,” he added.
