Majak joined Homeboyz in the mid-season transfer window, and despite his lack of top-flight experience, coach Patrick Odhiambo handed him his first start last weekend. The young midfielder was in the starting lineup when Homeboyz battled the AFC Leopards to a barren draw at Bukhungu Stadium last Sunday. The game marked the second appearance for the midfielder, having made his league and club debut two weeks ago against KCB at the Police Sacco Grounds. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7891901##The success Majaka has realised within a short time at Homeboyz thrills him even as he hopes to create long-lasting memories during his stay at the club. “I am happy to have made my league bow two weeks ago and my first-ever start last weekend.
