Muluya also believes the return of defender and captain, Kevinluke Otiala has given the side more solidity after a long time out considering the side had become porous defensively in his absence.
“The captain is back and we missed him. We had conceded only five before he got injured. When he got injured we conceded another 35 goals. His leadership at the back was certainly missed.”
