His second came in their goalless draw against Ulinzi Stars on Sunday, 9 February.##NAJAVA_MECA_8713193##The former Sofapaka player was also introduced in the 88th minute during their 5-0 win over Nairobi City Stars on Friday, 14 February. Although he played for only a few minutes, it marked a step in the right direction for a player who has spent much time on the bench.“I’m glad because I’ve started adapting and understanding the coach’s philosophy, and I’m beginning to get opportunities. I’ve been working hard in training and in the friendlies we play to show the coaches what I’m capable of,” Sifuna said about his newfound playing time.As expected, Sifuna is not yet satisfied and knows exactly what he needs to do to achieve his goal of being a starter, following a conversation with Baraza.Kibor settles for bronze as Kejelcha moves to second all-time for 10km in Castellón“The coach likes using wingbacks, and as one of them, he told me I have to be ready and prepared to defend and attack equally.
