The left winger started his career at Newcastle United and climbed up the ranks from the Youth team to the Under 18 and finally the Under 21 side.
Harambee Stars commence their journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in mid November on the back of high profile friendlies which have painted a true picture of the team.
Head coach Engin Firat looks to have figured out his spine of the team which he has called on consistently in the recent matches but the wing position has constantly been a soft underbelly.

STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars winger features as Exeter are downed by Wigan
The 23-year-old, who received his maiden call up to the Harambee Stars squad for the Russia friendly, featured but could not help Exeter avoid defeat against Wigan.
His spine consists of Joseph Okumu and Johnstone Omurwa at the heart of defense while Richard Odada, probably the first name he drafts on the team sheet, partners Anthony Okumu in midfield while skipper Michael Olunga always leads the line.
The wing position has been Firat’s most tinkered area and in the last encounter against Russia he had to recall old guns Ayub Timbe and an attached Ovella Ochieng into the squad in a bid to remedy the problem.

Only once has a winger scored during Firat’s reign at the helm of Harambee Stars which came most recently in the last 2-2 draw against Russia when Masud Juma found the back of the net.
Firat’s antidote may lay in familiar territories of Bradford City with prodigy Adam Wilson making waves in the club that is also home to Kenya international Clarke Oduor.

STARS ABROAD Anthony Akumu endures 30-game Sagan Tosu exile despite impressive Harambee Stars display
Harambee Stars midfielder Anthony Akumu has now gone 30 straight matches without kicking a ball for his Japanese side Sagan Tosu despite shining for the national team in recent matches
The fleet footed winger is eligible to play for Harambee Stars by virtue of one of his parents being Kenyan and despite the fact that he has already featured for the England Under 18 side.
Kenya’s troubles on the flanks have been well documented with Firat having to play full backs as cover ups in the position since the Turk took over back in September 2021.

STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars prospect destined to fill Abdoulaye Doucoure's boots at Everton
Young Everton midfielder with Kenyan roots is touted as Abdoulaye Doucoure's successor, showcasing promise during loan spells and in international football.
In his first match in charge that ended in a 5-0 drabbing at the hands of Mali, the result was not surprising as Henry Meja and Abud Omar started on either flank, none of them being natural wingers.
The return leg three days later against the same opponents saw local boys Boniface Muchiri and Abdalla Hassan start with the Bandari skipper missing guilt edge chances.

Since then, AFC Leopards talisman Victor Omune, Daniel Sakari, Clifton Miheso and Elvis Rupia have been tested on the flanks but none has caught the eye.

FKFPL Bandari captain Hassan Abdallah receives multiple offers as contract nears expiry
The Harambee Stars winger’s contract is set to expire in December this year.
Gor Mahia right back Rooney Onyango had an impressive outing against Russia last time but he offered little going forward, understandably so as he is not an out and out winger.
Adam Wilson with age on his side could be the solution to what looks as the final piece of the jig saw to the team with Masud being deployed to the left.
