seventh consecutive title on May 2nd, 2024, Onyango, who signed for Masandawana in 2021 from SuperSport United,
wrote his history, by winning a record 11th PSL title.

“Denis (Onyango) has continued to rewrite history in South African football and with his seventh consecutive title win with
Sundowns and an incredible 11th PSL title overall, he has solidified his status as a true legend of the game,” Bolo told Flashscore News.
“Onyango’s unparalleled success makes him the most decorated player in South African football history and I congratulate him
(on behalf of the Kenyans) for the remarkable achievement, he is a true legend, a true hero and deserves the praise,” added Bolo.
Apart from the league success, Onyango has three Nedbank Cup trophies to his name and could still make it four if Masandawana beat
Orlando Pirates in the final on June 1st, 2024, at Mbombela Stadium. He has lifted two Telkom knockout titles (now known as Carling Knockout,
or League Cup), and one MTN8 title, Champions League, CAF Super Cup and the inaugural Africa Football League (AFL) respectively.
Just three years after Onyango quit playing for Uganda’s national team the Cranes, it has emerged that the decorated goalkeeper is set to hang his
gloves at Sundowns when the current campaign concludes.
