FOOTBALL Kenya U18 captain Amos Wanjala revels in unforgettable debut against Barcelona
The immediate former Junior Stars captain made his debut for Gimnastic Tarragona U19s against Barcelona shortly after signing professional terms.
The defender has enjoyed a meteoric rise since helping his school to the National Secondary School Games football title in 2023 alongside some of his talented team-mates like Aldrine Kibet and Allan Kasavuli.
This earned them a move to the Nastic Soccer Academy before they guided Kenya to the final of the CECAFA U18 tournament in Kisumu in November that year.
He continued his rise, and in January, signed professional terms with Gimnastic Tarragona U19 side after passing the academy trials with flying colours.
He made his debut as a substitute as Gimnastic lost 4-2 to Barcelona's junior side in March this year, but it was an unforgettable experience for him.
Wanjala received a call-up to the Kenya U20 team for the Four-Nations tournament in Malawi in March but did not honour it due to club commitments, the call coming soon after he had just made the switch to Gimnastic Tarragona.
He would, however, be involved at the COSAFA tournament in July when he was among the bright spots as Kenya exited at the group stage.
