It was a bit tough because I went in for the trials at the peak of winter and had to adjust quickly to the environment. But I gave it my best and trained well,” Aroko told Telecomasia.AFC Leopards keeper on how he recovered from insults following costly blunderThe player is inspired by the journey of his former Kariobangi Sharks teammate Stanley Wilson, who was signed by AIK after a successful trial, and he hopes to follow in his path. He is also optimistic about securing a move abroad after being given the opportunity to train with the first team, unlike many young players who often start with the youth sides.”It was a huge opportunity because most young players usually go for trials with the youth teams, but I got a chance to train with the first team, so it was massive. Wilson’s journey inspires me a lot, and I am confident that I will follow the same path. That is my dream.”Aroko will be hoping to impress at the AFCON U20 in Egypt and attract more suitors.Kenya U20 coach on how AFCON squad was selected
