Career
Owino started out at Rongo Youth Club before joining Karatina Homeboyz from where he made a move to Kenyan second-tier side Fortune Sacco FC in September 2019. He then switched to promoted FC Talanta for the 2021-22 FKF Premier League season.[3]
Midway through the next season he was off to relegation threatened[4] Nairobi City Stars on an initial one-year deal which he later re-upped for two and a half years.[5][6]

With eight goals,[10] Owino top scored for City Stars in the 2023-24 FKF Premier League season though he has trained his sights of being the league's top scorer.[11][12]
