Gor Mahia forward Peter Lwasa is optimistic that his terrific start to life at the club will lay a solid base for his bid to don the Uganda Cranes shirt in the near future.Lwasa arrived at Gor last month from Kariobangi Sharks and marked his competitive debut for the record Kenyan champions with an assist in their opening league match of the season against KCB that ended 2-1 in their favour. He netted the sole goal when Gor edged the bankers on Thursday in a friendly game aimed at polishing the weak ares ahead of the return of league matches in next weekend.With the majority of Ugandan players who have made a stop at K’ogalo previously having been considered for national team duties, Lwasa believes that the he is poised to follow suit should he keep the fire burning. With coach Miutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic rebuilding his squad, the speedstar is convinced that it is just a mater of time before the Serbian trainer notices him and rewards him with a call up.83’| Sub @OfficialGMFC Sydney comes in for Lwasa PeterGor 2-1 KCB#GorVsKCB pic.twitter.com/bftxBXsmzt— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) September 25, 2021 “Gor is a big club that attracts good players and coaches with good profiles. Most of the Ugandan players who have played here before have gone to put on the Cranes shirt and it is among the reasons I am putting extra efforts so as to convince the technical bench that I am ripe for a call up, ” he said.Lwasa broke into the Kenyan league in 2019 when the 2009 champions Sofapaka acquired his services from Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) but left the following year for Sharks.The 23-year old was among the more than ten senior players released by Sharks before the season kicked off under unclear circumstances but found his way to Gor who are rebuilding after losing their key players.The last born in a family of five who began who fell for football in Gganda village in Nansana region of Uganda said playing for a club of Gor’s calibre was a dream come true in his career. “Gor are serious in muscling for trophies and playing continental football that presents an opportunity to be seen at a bigger stage. When you perform well in a team that wins titles you stand a big chance of getting a call up,”he stated.🟢 | Friendly match results FT: Gor Mahia 1 – 0 KCB ( Peter Lwasa 88′) #Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/xbRRIxXfm6— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) October 7, 2021 Meanwhile the former student at Bright College is confident that Gor boss Mark Harrison will fine-tune to meet the standards of playing in Europe.” I believe I will play in Europe once my stay at Gor comes to an end.
