Bidco United combative midfielder Jacob Onyango has credited the decision by coach Anthony Akhulia to play him at an advanced role for his impressive goal returns in the season.Despite playing deep in the midfield ,Onyango’s eye for the goal is quite something as he is the leading club top scorer courtesy of the seven goals netted this far.27′ Goal for Bidco – Jacob Onyango Bidco United 1-0 Mathare United #BidcoVsMathare— Mathare United FC (@MathareUtd) March 13, 2022 Initially, Akhulia had been fielding the stocky player as a shield to the defence with skipper Peter Nzuki being tasked with the responsibility of ferrying the ball forward. However, the youthful tactician swapped roles for the two midfielders who often lay a double block going by the quality of the opponent, a decision that continues to pay off for him.Onyango, commonly known as Yobo in the football circles said his goal scoring instincts began to develop the moment Akhulia began laying the central midfield roles on his shoulders but he says he is more comfortable while executing the number six duties.”I am not a natural goal scoring midfielder but my instincts have been growing from the time the coach gave me an advanced role. Last season I was not unlucky not score goals but I am happy I am helping the team win matches,” he said.🌟| Jacob Onyango helped Bidco United salvage a point against Ulinzi Stars#BidcoVsUlinzi#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/1tA5Tntccv— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) August 7, 2021 With slightly over ten rounds remaining before the season comes to an end, the former Nairobi City Stars midfielder in the meantime believes that there still goals remaining in his reservoir.Babu relaxed as Nzoia sail away from the relegation zone”I will try my best and see if I will add more before the season ends.
