STARS ABROAD: Harambee Stars striker sends reminder to Firat with Norwegian Team of the Week prominence

Festus Chuma 15:30 - 22.08.2023

The striker with Kenyan-English roots earns Norwegian First Division team of the week spot with standout performance.

Harambee Stars striker Alfred Richard Scriven has been named Norwegian First Division team of the week. 

The 25-year-old forward, who also plays for Hodd, showcased his exceptional scoring abilities, leading his team to a resounding 2-0 victory over Skeid on a memorable Saturday match.

Hodd, which had been facing a challenging season, found new hope in Scriven's standout performance who scored the opening goal for the side in the third minute of the game.

Prior to this crucial match, the team had only managed to secure four wins in their first 17 league matches, making this victory a much-needed boost. 

Last season, he emerged as a prominent player for Hödd, a club that he joined at the start of the 2021/2022 season  Mjøndalen.

With a commendable track record of eight goals in 26 matches, Scriven showcased his dedication to his craft and his team.

Scriven received his first call-up to the Harambee Stars in March, becoming part of the team that engaged in a hard-fought match against Iran, despite the 2-1 loss.

With the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, Scriven is poised to seize even more opportunities to shine. 

The qualifiers, scheduled to kick off in November, promise intense competition among teams vying for nine slots in the final tournament. 

Additionally, one inter-confederation play-off slot has been reserved for CAF teams, further raising the stakes for Scriven and his fellow African footballers.
