Tusker FC midfielder Jackson Macharia is elated to have extended his stay at Ruaraka after renewing his contract till the end of the 2024 season and has cited that there is an unfinished business at the club for him..Macharia has been a pivotal piece for Robert Matano and the Tusker side, leading the team to a league and cup double in 2016 and was part of the team that won the FKF Premier League in the 2020/2021 season and defended it in the subsequent year, under the FKF Caretaker Committee.##NAJAVA_MECA_7079889##According to Macharia, he aims to win the league title for the fourth time, some would argue the third, with the club he joined in 2016 from Thika United.”I am happy to have renewed my contact with the club. I have had wonderful years at Tusker and I still believe I can have more good time here. We won back to back twice and I hope to help the team in the second leg to win the third one. When you see me still want to be with this team, it means that it is a great team and I think that I still have unfinished business here.I have had offers from other clubs during my stay at Tusker but after weighing them, I opted to stay here,” he said.For the second leg of the current campaign, Macharia is hopeful that they can replicate their run last season where they went the whole length without losing a match, noting that they are out to avoid the mistakes they made in the first leg.Tusker loyalist Jackson Macharia pens new deal to extend stay with the championsFurther, the midfield stalwart believes that they have what it takes to retain the tit;le at the end of the season provided everyone gives their all in the remaining 17 matches.”We have to go unbeaten in the second leg, it is something that we did last season and I believe we can do it again. we have been a bit unsettled in the first leg but now we have put our house in order and try to avoid the mistakes we made in the first leg. Everyone is focused and I am hopeful that we can retain the title if everyone gives their best,” he said.Apart from the league title, Macharia is targeting to win the Mozzart Bet Cup with Tusker and represent the club at the CAF Confederation Cup in the case that they miss on the league title.
