They performed well in the past campaign and I think the new players will push them to do better in the new season. The kind of backing we are getting from the management will also play a big role in the chase for a slot in the top flight,” he said.The 23-year old broke to the scene last year when Mathare acquired him from Siaya where he was playing in the regional league.He was among the Seal players who travelled to Tanzania for the Kariokor Derby played last month at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
