Waruru joined Bidco in October 2020 after parting ways with KCB. The Thika based side has scored just nine goals in twelve matches a return that has left Akhulia a concerned tactician. The former player also expressed worry with the manner in which his defense let in goals. The club has conceded fourteen goals so far in the season. “We are not scoring enough from the chances we are creating. We would be at the top of the log had we been clinical upfront. The defense is not as tight as I would like it to be but we will continue working just to fine tune things,” he noted.
