Eric Kapaito is preparing for an emotional FKF Premier League match against his former team, Kariobangi Sharks.

Tusker FC striker Eric Kapaito is setting his sights on a significant comeback for his team in the FKF Premier League focusing on the upcoming fixture against his former club Kariobangi Sharks. 

Following a disappointing exit from the FKF Cup, Kapaito and his teammates are channeling their energies towards clinching the league title, with only 10 matches left to play. 

The defeat to Kakamega Homeboyz last Saturday has served as a learning curve for the team, and they are now more determined than ever to secure a win in their next league match.

Kapaito, who has been a pivotal figure for Tusker FC, expressed his sentiments about the team's recent performance and their collective mindset going forward. 

"It was heartbreaking to lose that game because our expectation was to do well and win. A team like Tusker, every game is important and we have to win every match and compete for every trophy. It was a tough setback for us, but I feel we have a chance to redeem ourselves in the league," he stated in an interview with club portal.

 The forward emphasized the importance of taking each game one at a time, focusing on accumulating as many points as possible to stay in contention for the league title.

The upcoming match against Kariobangi Sharks is not just another game for Kapaito; it holds a special place in his heart.

 Having started his Premier League career with the Sharks, where he won two golden boots and an MVP award, Kapaito looks forward to facing his former team. 

Despite the emotional connection, Kapaito is clear about his objectives.

 "It is a special game for me to play in because Sharks are a big part of my career. They helped to give me my first Premier League experience, and I am looking forward to the game. But the target for us is simple, go and get three points," he noted.

Kapaito's journey from Kariobangi Sharks to making a mark in Ethiopia and eventually joining Tusker FC has been remarkable.

Even after a brief spell in Ethiopia with Arba Minch Kapaito has continued to showcase his goal-scoring prowess, contributing significantly to Tusker's campaign this season.
