Club career

Oguta played in Kenyan capital Nairobi side Gor Mahia until 1999. In the turn of the century, he moved to Kosovo, which had just become a UN protectorate a year prior after a NATO war against FR Yugoslavia (Serbia), and signed with FC Drita, thus becoming the first ever person of color to play in Kosovo.[1] He later moved to KF Besiana where he won the Kosovar championship, Kosovar Cup and Kosovar Super Cup, all in one year.[1] He used to play in Kosovo as left-back.

In summer 2003, President's Cup defending champions, Kenya Pipeline, have signed former Yugoslavia-based defender, Tiellen Oguta.[2]

International career

Ogutu started appearing in the Kenyan national team still in the 1990s.[1] He made 13 appearances between 1996 and 1999.[3][4]

Coaching career

By 2014 he was assistant manager at Kenya Revenue Authority.[1]
