With his 10th premier league title, Onyango didn’t only become the most successful foreign player in South Africa’s topflight football, but also the most decorated overall.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns teammate Hlompho Kekana is second on eight, having retired in 2021.
Uganda’s Onyango is a CAF Champions League winner, has a CAF Super Cup, two Telkom Cups, Two Nedbank Cups, one MTN 8 Cup and an African-based Player of the Year crown.
