Kenyan whizkid Joshua Otieno offered trials by Hull

Kenyan whizkid Joshua Otieno was offered trials by Hull City.

The Hull Daily Mail says SportPesa All Stars youngster Otieno was invited to train with Hull City under-18s last week.

After the All Stars fell to a 2-1 defeat on Monday night to a select Hull City XI, all but 16-year-old Otieno have flown back to Kenya.

The midfielder arrived late in the UK as administration issues meant that he could only arrive in England 24 hours before kick-off at the KCOM Stadium, limiting his game time to just a minute.

As such Otieno has been invited to train with Richard O'Donnell and Richard Naylor's under-18s for a week to enhance his experience of England, before catching a flight back home on Sunday.
