Allan Okello continued his sparkling run of form in Tanzania after delivering another standout display for Young Africans S.C. during Wednesday’s NBC Premier League encounter against Dodoma Jiji FC.
The Uganda Cranes midfielder struck twice in the opening half to inspire Yanga in an entertaining contest played on May 13, 2026. His quick-fire brace handed the reigning Tanzanian giants a 2-1 advantage before Dodoma Jiji rallied late on to force a 2-2 draw.
Okello’s latest heroics further underlined his growing influence since making the mid-season switch from Vipers SC in January 2026.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has rapidly become one of Yanga’s most decisive performers, blending creativity with clinical finishing as the club pushes to retain its league crown.

Coming into the fixture on the back of being named April’s Player of the Month, Okello has maintained remarkable consistency. The former Uganda Premier League top scorer earned the accolade after registering one goal and six assists across just three matches last month.
Since arriving in Dar es Salaam, the Lira City-born playmaker has now accumulated five goals and seven assists, numbers that continue to elevate his reputation beyond East Africa.
His performances are not only keeping Yanga firmly in the championship race but are also attracting increasing interest from scouts ahead of the club’s upcoming CAF Champions League engagements.
