The attacking midfielder's winning debut goal propeled Seal to victory, earning him FKF Premier League's Player of the Week.

Murang'a Seal attacking midfielder Batts Awita has captured the spotlight as he was crowned the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) Player of the Week.

Awita's mesmerising performance on the field, including the winning goal in his debut match, has not only earned him this title but has also marked his return to the FKFPL with a burst of brilliance.

The attacking maestro etched his name in the annals of the league's history when he secured victory for Murang'a Seal against Shabana in a thrilling encounter played on Sunday at Raila Odinga Stadium in Homabay.

Introduced as a second-half substitute, Awita wasted no time in proving his mettle as he profited from a defensive mix up to net the decisive goal that sealed the victory for his team.

Having previously showcased his talents while donning the colors of Bidco United, Awita made a decisive move to join Murang'a Seal after the culmination of the previous season.

The inaugural weekend of the FKF Premier League witnessed a triumphant Murang'a Seal, an achievement that saw them join the ranks of Tusker and Nzoia Sugar as the sole victors of the opening fixtures. 

With three points securely tucked into their name, Murang'a Seal soared to the summit of the league standings, igniting hopes of a remarkable season ahead. 

Awita's exceptional performance did not go unnoticed, as he emerged victorious from a pool of worthy contenders for the Player of the Week accolade.

His name stood tall among a list of talented players including Isaiah Wakasala, Jimmy Mbugua, Timothy Ekhavi, Eric Juma, Stanley Wilson, Simon Munala, Victor Haki, Benjamin Mosha, and Deogracious Ojok.
