NAIROBI, Kenya, February 11- Record Harambee Stars goal scorer and former Kenya captain, Dennis Oliech, has returned to the Gulf to play for Dubai’s Al-NasrSC from French second division side AC Ajaccio.

He is credited with 34 goals in 65 games for Harambee Stars although the figure could be much higher before he fell out with immediate former head coach, Adel Amrouche who stripped him of the armband and expelled him from the squad last year.
Oliech returned to train with Stars when Scot Bobby Williamson when he took over but was not included in the team that played an international friendly with Morocco in the latter part of last year.
