The Kenyan international right was playing rugby from 2013-2016 , but this is how he ended up playing football.
The 24-year-old is however optimistic that “the gods of football” will twist things in their favor should they win their match and Gor Mahia drop points against Nairobi City Stars.
“What we should control is our next game. We must go there and win our match. The other match (between Gor and Nairobi City Stars) is not in our control, so we leave it to the gods of football.”

Both teams are primed to make their mark on the international stage.
Tusker are currently second on 66 points, just one behind leaders Gor Mahia. They must win to get 69 points to stand a chance of reclaiming their title assuming Gor Mahia draw or lose to Simba wa Nairobi.
Gor have a far superior goal difference of 28 to the Brewers’ 18. However, K'Ogalo must win their match to clinch the title given they still hold a one-point advantage despite their loss to FKF Cup finalists Kakamega Homeboyz.
