He previously turned for National Super League side Kibera Black Stars
Kenyan defender Nicodemus "Mariga" Onyango made his debut for Taiwanese side Leopard Cat as they clinched a 2-0 victory over Hang Yuen.
The former Kibera Black Stars defender moved to the Taiwan Football Premier League side in April but failed to beat the competition to get first-team playing time under his belt.
But on Thursday morning, when Leopard Cat took Hang Yuen in match day four, Onyango was on the starting eleven and was handed the usual center-back playing role.
It would turn out to be a night to remember for the defender, who donned his usual jersey number 6.
