Kakamega Homeboyz left-back Thomas Wainaina is convinced that the quality of players at the club will inspire them to grace the Football Kenya Federation Premier League podium at the end of the season.Homeboyz head coach Bernard Mwalala was active in the transfer market as he beefed his squad with decent players and began the quest to guide the club to its maiden league title with a 1-0 win over debutants Kenya Police.Wainaina who missed the league opener against the law enforcers said that the team was lethal in front of the goal but a leaking defense was a let down in the past seasons and the bench had spent time in sealing the loopholes.”We are going for the title this time round. We have been doing well offensively but at the same time conceding a lot. We have been working on fixing the leaking areas in the defence that our opponents have been exploiting. The management brought in good players who have been integrated into the team and have grasped our style of play,” he said.My 2019 Top 10 shotsNumber 1Nzoia Sugar celebrate Thomas Wainaina’s opener right in front of AFC Leopards’ Ashitiva Stand at the Mumias Sports Complex.There’s more to this image.

The task ahead of us is difficult and every player has a role to play. My primary role is to ensure we keep clean sheets and as a full back I also have a role of helping in attacking, ” he added.Meanwhile, Wainaina tipped his boyhood club Rising Stars of Nakuru to be the next and rich source of talents for top-flight clubs.The former Nakuru All-Stars player said that the club that features in the county league had young and talented players who are keen to make it to the top level.
