Mathare United head coach John Kamau’s efforts in sealing the loopholes in the defence and saving the club from having a date with the axe have been boosted by the return of the highly-rated Martin Ongori.Mathare who are staring at the danger of being thrown to the second tier have had to do without the versatile defender in the last seven league rounds where they have conceded fifteen goals.⭐|Martin Ongori of @MathareUtd is your Man of the Match#BKPL pic.twitter.com/LZO6Rop2sl— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) July 31, 2021 Ongori last played for the 2008 league champions in the 2-1 loss to AFC Leopards in January 23 at the Nyayo National Stadium in a game that ended sourly as he picked a metatarsal bone fracture.However in news that will certainly be welcome to the worried Mathare fans, the stocky defender resumed training a couple of days ago and says he could be ready for selection when the league resumes next month.Gor left back elated after shaking off career threatening injury”My recovery comes at a time when the team needs every player to be at his best. Our greatest undoing has been defending and hopefully, my presence will help keep cleansheets going forward. I will be hoping to get back to the starting team and give my best for we can not afford to watch the team get relegated,” he said. The slum boys who sit at the rock bottom of the lig with eleven points ten adrift of safety have conceded 51 goals, the highest in the ongoing campaign. 88 Mathare takes the lead through Martin OngoriMathare 2-1 Sofapaka— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) July 31, 2021 Ongori who before suffering the setback had been playing at the heart of the defence, says he is comfortable in playing as a right back and or in central defence if need be.The player had for years served the club as a right back but was forced to transition to the heart of the defence from last season’s second leg. “Were it not for coach Francis Kimanzi, I would not have learnt how to defend on the flank. He transformed me to a right back but after injuries crept into the team last season, I had to move in central defence,” he said.
