Michael Olunga made history as the first Kenyan to score a hat-trick in La Liga

Michael Olunga was likened to legendary Harambee Stars striker Mike Origi during his developmental years. After making a name for himself in the Kenyan Premier League, he secured a move to Swedish side Djurgårdens IF in 2015.

In his first season on foreign soil, he scored 12 goals in 27 appearances, and moved on eastward the following year, joining Chinese club Guizhou Zhicheng and scoring two goals in nine appearances, but was later loaned to La Liga side Girona, which is where he spent the most successful years of footballing career yet.

Making his league debut for the Spanish club, he netted a hat-trick in a span of 22 minutes, thus becoming the first Kenyan player and the first man in his club's history to score a hat-trick in La Liga.

The 25-year-old currently plays for Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol.
