Tusker FC revealed their April Player of the month and Ugandan forward beat three others to win the coveted award.

Tusker FC striker Deogratious Ojok has been named the club’s Player of the Month for April, capping off a month of standout performances that helped keep the Brewers firmly in the FKF Premier League title race.

The Ugandan forward emerged the winner following a competitive selection process that saw four players shortlisted from the team’s four April matches, against Bidco United, Mara Sugar FC, Nairobi City Stars, and Mathare United.

Ojok beat stiff competition from Brian Opondo, Dennis Iguma and Chris Erambo to win the award after garnering 21 votes from 39.

Head Coach Charles Okere hailed Ojok’s sharpness in front of goal and his growing influence on the squad. “Ojok has been fantastic for us this past month. He’s taken his chances well, pressed with intensity, and brought energy into every game he’s played. What’s most impressive is his discipline and hunger to keep improving.

"This award is well-deserved, and I’m proud of the example he’s setting for the rest of the squad as we enter a critical phase of the season.”

A visibly proud Ojok expressed gratitude for the recognition and paid tribute to his teammates: “It means a lot to be recognised in this way, especially in a team full of hardworking and talented players."

"Every time I step on the pitch, I want to give my best for the badge and the fans. I thank my teammates who have supported me on and off the field, and this award is a reflection of that teamwork. We have six big games to go, and I want to keep contributing as much as I can.”

Tusker FC currently sits second on the FKF Premier League table with 51 points, just one behind leaders Kenya Police and one ahead of Gor Mahia. 

The team will be back in action on Saturday,  when they take on sixth-placed AFC Leopards at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, as they continue their pursuit of a 14th league title, and their first since the 2021/22 season.
