He possesses equal attributes and qualities with Mathias Kigonya, and I foresee a great career for him in the coming years.” He addedOn playtime, Okello believes that the youngster will get minutes despite being at the basement in the pecking order.“I am so lucky to have a very strong goalkeeping department. I have three experienced custodians in Kevin Omondi, Mathias, Simon Masaka, and the young David Obasanjo. It may look too obvious that he won’t be able to break into the first team and get minutes under his feet anytime soon, but trust me, David is up to the task. Injuries and suspensions are unavoidable, and when such occur, I am confident he will perfectly fit in the squad,” he wound up.Rael Nkoi: Former Gaspo defender defying odds to grow women football in Turkana
