Tusker FC's Dennis Oguta has reflected on his tough yet inspiring debut in professional football after transitioning from a lower division.
Tusker FC midfielder Dennis Oguta has opened up on the challenges and triumphs of his first-team debut last weekend against Kariobangi Sharks in Machakos.
The 21-year-old, who recently joined the Brewers from FKF Division Two side Harvest of Hope, admitted the experience was daunting but ultimately rewarding.
“It was really tough honestly. At first, I doubted myself whether I could really make it. However, my teammates really encouraged me and told me that I have the ability to do well,” Oguta shared with the club website.
