Mathare United midfielder Martin Nderitu has exuded confidence in picking from where he left next season after his bid to play regularly in the top flight was prematurely cut short by the club’s relegation to the second tier.Earlier in the season, the creative midfielder had revealed that he elected to join the 2008 league winners after leaving KCB to quench his thirst for playing time but that did not happen to satisfaction owing to the outfit’s struggle.🎥| That Finish by Martin Nderitu of @MathareUtd against @nzoiasugarfc2 🔥🔥#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/fhR66wzkrn— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 27, 2021 The Football Kenya Federation Transition Committee soon after appointment and subsequent gazettement by the Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed confirmed the demotion of the club to the Super League after failing to honour three league matches.Mathare who were placed at the rock bottom of the log failed to show up against Bandari, Ulinzi Stars and Sofapaka and as soon as their relegation was confirmed, their second leg results were voided.Know Your PlayerName: Martin NderituD.O.B: 17/5/1996Club: KCBPosition: MidfiederNationality: Kenyan pic.twitter.com/RYWYjrLEi8— Ministry Of Sports, Culture & Heritage (@moscakenya) October 16, 2016 Although there have been rumours that the club is likely to contest the committee’s decision to expel them from the league, the players who prior to the Bandari game had been asked to down their tools are said to be looking for new homes.Why Nderitu joined Mathare UnitedNderitu who penned a season-long deal with the slum boys says he is looking to bounce back next season but remained tight-lipped as to whether suitors were hot on his heels and whether he was open to signing a new deal with Mathare should they offer a better package.“I will be back stronger next season. It is unfortunate that I did not fulfil, the plans I had for the season but all is not lost for the new season is just few months away,” he said.Nderitu who prior to joining Mathare had stuck with the bankers for close to eight seasons has been keeping fit with Fifa Best, an outfit he captained to the inaugural Dennis Oliech Cup triumph last year.
