Career
editKenedy 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[2][3] [4] 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.[5]
After, he returned westward, to Kakamega Homeboyz, and went on to complete the 2018/19 and 2019/2020 [6][7][8] seasons before returning to Nairobi to join the freshly promoted Nairobi City Stars[9][10][11] on an initial two-year contract before extending it further for the 2022/23 season.[12][13] He scored his maiden goal for the club in October 2021 against Wazito F.C.[14][15]
In July 2023, Onyango made the big move to Gor Mahia F.C.[16][17] after running down his contract with Nairobi City Stars at the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
