STARS ABROAD Kenyan forward sets sights on redemption after club's poor form in Scotland
Kenyan forward Jonah Ayunga vows to lead St Mirren to redemption after back-to-back defeats in the Scottish Premiership.
Adisa, known for his knack for leading clubs to promotions, has achieved a remarkable feat that few players can boast of – he has led three different clubs to promotion.
The Kwale native previously played a pivotal role in guiding KCB, Nakumatt FC, and Bidco to coveted places in the top tier league.
Remarkably, Adisa's contributions went largely unrecognized until 2019 when he was finally included in the squad of home-based players representing Harambee Stars in two build-up matches against South Sudan and Tanzania.
Despite his immense potential, inconsistency has plagued his career, potentially denying him earlier opportunities to represent the national team.
However, at the age of 35, many coaches still believe that there is some talent left within Adisa.
He was even named in the provisional squad for Kenya in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt and Togo, a testament to the faith coaches have in his abilities.

Reflecting on his career, Adisa fondly recalled his time with KCB, where he played a pivotal role in their return to the top division after a period in the National Super League (NSL).
"My opportunity to play regularly in the Kenya Premier League (KPL) came when I was with KCB, having just returned to the KPL. I believed then that I was among the top six goalkeepers in the country, going by the number of clean sheets I kept," he asserted in a apast interview.
Despite his impressive displays for KCB, Adisa later moved on to Mount Kenya United and Bidco FC.
