Musa overcame stiff competition from AFC Leopards defender Vincent Mahiga and Gor Mahia teammates Enock Morrison and Michael Kibwage to claim the inaugural SportPesa League monthly gong. 

His performances were central to Gor Mahia’s flawless record in October, where they defeated KCB, Posta Rangers, and Mathare United without dropping a point. His goal contributions and attacking influence were widely praised as K’Ogalo strengthened their early push for the SportPesa League title.
