Eugene Asike has added another layer to his already glittering career after latest development.

Former Tusker FC captain Eugene Asike has achieved another milestone to his already glittering career by adding another feather to his decorated cv.

The experienced centre-back has successfully graduated from Brighton University in the United Kingdom, where he pursued a course in Strength and Conditioning (S&C) according to Citizen Digital.

“Building brick by brick and celebrating every win along the way. God’s work na maombi ya Mama," the burley centre back said.

His time at Brighton University was not just confined to classrooms. Asike got a rare chance to engage with English Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, where he worked closely with their S&C department as part of his practicals.

“It is a massive opportunity, to be honest. I got to have sessions with the S&C coaches of Brighton FC, just to put what I have learnt into practice,” he said in an earlier interview.

Asike’s path in strength and conditioning offers a fresh perspective while most players gravitate towards coaching.

“I wanted to try a new challenge, my contract with Tusker came to an end, and I opted not to renew," Asike said late last year.

His academic pursuit highlights a growing trend among professional athletes seeking to diversify their careers and prepare for life after active sports.
