Former Sofapaka attacking midfielder and the National Super League top scorer Cornelius Juma is confident that his performance will procure him a return to top flight football next season.Juma caught many by surprise when he was unveiled at Mwatate United at the start of the season but had gone to justify his class as he tops the scorers table with thirteen goals.The former Shabana player explained that he settled for the second tier debutants to rediscover his form after being club less for a season since parting ways with Sofapaka late in 2019. Juma revealed that a knee injury reduced him to a free agent and could not risk joining a top flight club after recovering as he was not ready to meet the physical demands of the competition.Happy birthday Cornelius Juma aka cj13…. #BatotoBaMungu #SofapakaFamilia pic.twitter.com/goJp7mA1rH— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) November 15, 2019 With his scoring touch back, the burly forward who penned a one-year contract with Mwatate believes that he will secure offers at the big stage again.”I spend the better part of last year nursing a knee injury and I did not want to join a club with lofty demands upon recovering. I was certain that playing in the second tier would help me reclaim my form and I am glad with the progress. If I remain injury free then I think I will be going back to FKF PL next season, “he said.Having found the back of the net thirteen times, the former Mt.Kenya United player is hoping to surpass his season target of seventeen goals.” I had a target of seventeen goals at the start of the season but I feel I will go past the mark if my form is anything to go by,” he said.
