The club has experienced a prolonged trophy drought and nothing will make the current squad proud than fighting for it. The gap between us and the top teams is not big and considering that we still have many matches to go, we have to continue working hard and be consistent,” he said.Hansel Ochieng celebrates after doubling our lead pic.twitter.com/GQCNhXCHy7— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) December 29, 2021 Besides inspiring the club to the league title, the former Nzoia revealed his plan of hitting double digits.
