Lopaga enjoyed a prolific October, featuring in all four of Murang’a SEAL’s matches and scoring six goals while providing one assist.
He made his SportPesa League debut with SEAL in the season’s opening fixture against Gor Mahia, coming off the bench to score a brace and announcing his arrival.
He registered 11 shots on target and created six chances while his 11th-minute opener against Nairobi United in Gameweek 4 made him the first player to reach five goals in the 2026/27 campaign. He went on to complete a brace in the match, taking his tally to six.
His performances also earned him selections in the Gameweek 2 and Gameweek 4 Teams of the Week.
Baragoi becomes the latest recipient of the monthly accolade, following in the footsteps of last season’s Golden Boot winner Joe Waithira, who claimed the December Player of the Month award while at Murang’a SEAL.
