FKFPL Joseph Mwangi itching to rediscover scoring touch at Tusker

The Harambee Stars prospect scored 14 goals and registered seven assists for Nzoia Sugar last season but has struggled to replicate that form since joining Tusker.

Tusker midfielder Joseph Mwangi has pledged to work hard to find his scoring touch after scoring just one goal since signing for the brewers in August.

Mwangi scored 14 goals and registered seven assists for Nzoia Sugar last season which was enough to put him into Pulse Sports’ FKFPL team of the season as well as a maiden call up to the Harambee Stars setup.

His form earned him a move to the 12-time league champions, but he has struggled to replicate his form from last season.

The talented playmaker has admitted that, although the coaching and playing staff have welcomed him well at the club, he has to repay their trust in him by scoring and creating chances in Ruaraka.

“Life is good because I was welcomed well by the technical bench as well as other players,” Mwangi said.

“So far, it has been good. I am grateful for being welcomed at Tusker.

“ However, I am still looking for my scoring touch because I have been at Tusker for quite a while. I have started in certain games and also featured as a substitute in others and I have scored just one goal so far.

“I have to work hard to rediscover it because I cannot say that just because I had it last season at Nzoia means I still have to have it automatically.”

Mwangi believes he has adapted well to Robert Matano’s demands and has forged good chemistry with his teammates but still has to work hard to earn his place back in the starting line up after recently being relegated to being an impacter.

“Mentally, my team-mates, as well as the coach’s system demand a lot. I have adapted well to it but I still have to work hard to fully adapt to it,” he added.
