Football Kenya Federation Division One Zone B leading keeper on clean-sheets Brian Marani is banking on his hot form to secure him a move to the FKF Premier League at the end of the campaign.Marani has had good exploits since joining the third tier with Bungoma Superstars at the start of 2022-2023, and his excellent showing in goal saw him bag the golden glove, keeping 15 slates in the 20 matches he was involved in.##NAJAVA_MECA_7828939##Despite his impressive form, no team either from the top league or the second division showed interest in getting his services, but, after repeating the same heroics this term, the netminder says his terrific techniques in goal have caught the attention of numerous teams in the country.Sixteen games into the season, the former St. Teresa’s Kabula Boys goalkeeper is leading the pack with 10 clean sheets, jointly top with APS Bomet’s Bob Cetric, and five matches away from equaling last season’s tally.But what keeps the 21-year-old going? Marani says self-belief and desire to achieve more have kept him at the top since his school days and believes the winning mentality instilled in him at a younger age will be key in stepping up his promising career.“The secret behind my goal heroics is always believing in myself, patience, hard work, obedience, not forgetting God, and teamwork,” he told Mozzart Sport.FKF Div. One: Talking points from weekend actionThe former Bungoma Sirens netminder further adds that the fear of losing and conceding cheap goals has made him a better player who is always yearning to witness his side bag maximum points without leaking.“My biggest upset is conceding easy goals and losing matches. I love it when people struggle to get past me,” he added.The Superstars’ custodian dreams of plying trade in the top tier shortly and contesting for the league golden gloves with the best, as he feels he is ripe for the big stage, while at the same time guiding his club to the second tier terming their stay in Division One too long.“I feel I am ready for top-flight football. I hope the clean sheets I am keeping will procure me a move to the highest level. At the same time, I will be happy to see Bungoma Superstars climb the ladder and grace the NSL, the club has overstayed in the third division and deserves a move,” he said.

In conclusion, Karani urged Superstars fans to be a bit patient with the playing unit as they work their way up and get the club back on track.“My message to Bungoma fans is to be patient with us as we try to get better results as players. I believe in our able patron, management, and technical bench that they will always ensure that we work in a good environment to give good results.”Three clubs thirsting for Morgan Alube’s signature after severing ties with Naivas FCBungoma Superstars are currently ranked seventh on the log with 23 points from 16 matches.
