Posta Rangers head coach Stanley Okumbi has come out to explain why last season’s best young player in the National Super League Alfred Emoni is yet to make his Football Kenya Federation Premier League debut. Rangers acquired the promising forward before the season began from Kisumu All Stars and six rounds but he is still waiting for his league bow, six rounds into the season.Okumbi said the Turkana-born player who hit double digits last season was a spark in training but was not in a hurry to play him as the rest of the forwards were firing from all cylinders.Besides signing Emoni who is popularly known as Koko, Okumbi strengthened his striking front by bringing in the duo of Chrispinus Onyango and Brian Marita from Tusker while Timothy Otieno joined from Sofapaka.My High School Desk Mate Alfred Tanui is the Young Player of Year 2020/21I’m proud of you bro..#LetOurStarsShine pic.twitter.com/7FDGzyQthq— Mjengo Specialist 💪 (@ItsJoeKE) September 15, 2021 The trio alongside Eliud Lokuwam who has been skippering the team in the absence of Suleiman Ngotho boast of having the fourth best goal returns in the league after Kariobangi Sharks, Nairobi City Stars and Bandari.The mailmen who are placed eighth on the log with ten points have scored ten goals from the opening six matches and conceded four.”I don’t want to rush him into the new challenge or make changes in the department as everything is working in line with the script. I want to introduce him gradually and once he adapts fully, he will play consistently. He is a good and young forward who has shown a lot of potential and will definitely score goals at will in the future,” said the former Mathare United coach.##NAJAVA_MECA_5978971##The 19-year old elected to join All Stars at the start of last season over Nzoia Sugar after impressing at Kapenguria Heroes and went on to clinch the young player of the season award.He earned his maiden call up to the national U23, Emerging Stars in July when Okumbi named his provisional squad for the regional tournament held in July but did not make to the traveling squad.
