Club career

A.F.C. Leopards

On 13 June 2014, Mieno joined A.F.C. Leopards from Sofapaka for a reported Ksh. 1.2 million (approx. US$13,690 or £8,100).[1][2]

Tusker

After only almost seven months with Ingwe, Mieno's transfer to Tusker was announced on 27 January 2015.[3] Criticised on social media for allegedly being lured away from A.F.C. Leopards purely for money and never being guided by his ambitions and contractual obligations, Mieno defended his move to his new club, saying that A.F.C. Leopards failed to pay him his wages for more than three months. He added that it was the same reason he left Sofapaka as well.[4]

Mieno made his debut for Tusker in a 1–1 draw against Thika United at the Thika Municipal Stadium in their first league game of the season on 21 February 2015.[5]
