“I am grateful to coach Jacob Mulee for advising me to join this team because it gives young players an opportunity to learn. I want to work hard and gain experience by playing as many matches at this level. When my opportunity comes I will grab it. I am here to score goals,”  the 21-year-old was quoted by Mathare United website.

His presence will add more options to coach Francis Kimanzi's attacking front that boasts of Chris Ochieng’ and Elijah Mwanzia and Clifford Alwanga who was recently snapped up from Tusker.
