Nairobi United, MCF thirsting for Mara Sugar defender’s signature

Newly appointed Mully Children Family FC head coach Vincent Nyaberi is keen to reunite with Mara Sugar FC central defender Joseph Okwenda in January, Mozzart Sport understands.The duo worked together during Nyaberi’s short stint at the Millers and a reunion is on the horizon though the Yatta club will have to beat competition from another NSL side Nairobi United to the signature of the defender characterized by his strong ball-retaining abilities.##NAJAVA_MECA_7766936##The structured defender has a running contract with the Sugar Men who are chasing promotion to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League and it will be seen if the Godfery Naibei-led team will be willing to part ways with one of the key pillars in their backline.The defender who has seven clean sheets to his name in twelve games after missing only two matches this term due to a knee injury, confirmed receiving offers but remained coy on his next move.“I have offers on the table, MCF and Nairobi United have approached me while others may have sent signals to the management. I am yet to make up my mind whether I am staying or making a move, currently, I am enjoying my holidays and soon I will announce the next move,” offered Okwenda.NSL 2023: Shabana fanfare, Mathare relegation and revival of enthusiasmOkwenda, who has earned three promotions with the Narok situated club, when pressed, left the door open to a move that will get the best out of him further developing his status as a player.“I have unfinished business with Mara. Three promotions with the club are just credible but if an offer comes in and it favors me in various aspects, why not try somewhere else? I want to play and grow as a player, so my next move will be based on who provides a suitable environment for my development,” he added.On his performances this term, the former Mwatate United defender noted improvements from the previous seasons but is far from satisfied with the current record as he aims at 15 league clean sheets.“The season has been good but not that good, as a team we want more clean sheets at least 15 and more, then we can say we had a good campaign and it will be nice capping it off with a Mara Sugar promotion,” concluded the defender.Stars Abroad: Oduor inspires Bradford to comeback as Dunga scores in Hong Kong
