They were captained by Bernard Ochieng during their maiden KPL season in 2018.[3] Ochieng was also in the mix to represent the Kenya national team during the season.[4] Vihiga upset champions Gor Mahia 2-0 late in the season which nearly ensured they would avoid relegation back to the second division[5] and ended up finishing their maiden premier league season in 12th position.[6]
