Former Kariobangi Sharks forward and last season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Erick Kapaito has tipped his successor at the club, Felix Oluoch to clinch the ‘ Golden Boot’ at the end of the current term.Kapaito won the coveted boot last season after netting 24 goals and assisting five more, performance that won him the best player award in the competition for the second time since joining Sharks in 2017.The Kenyan international who joined Ethiopian Premier League side Abra Minch in September last year first won the boot and the MVP award in the 2018 season organized by the then competition managers, the Kenya Premier League Limited.Erick Kapaito is slowly picking up form in Ethiopia. https://t.co/LGvSDtcLui— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) February 24, 2022 With Oluoch, who was captured from National Super League side APS Bomet last year a goal away from hitting double digits, Kapaito said the forward had demonstrated the much needed hunger in front of the goal and predicted him to continue scoring and ensure the scoring honors remain at Sharks.Sharks fished out the former Posta Rangers forward and Erick Mata from second tier outfit Dandora Love in a bid to fully plug in the gap left by Kapaito who is currently back in the country for a week-long break. Erick Kapaito scored his 3rd goal of the season. It is tough for a striker to make all these runs without getting the ball much but he works hard for the better-drilled Arba Minch side. #BKEthPL— Girmachew Kebede (@GirmachewK) February 23, 2022 “He is a prolific goal poacher who has what it takes to win the boot at the end of the season. I have been streaming live their matches and I like his positioning in the area and how he buries the ball. I will be proud to see him win the award at the end of the season, “said the former FC Talanta forward.Oluoch’s take on why Sharks produces top scorersMeanwhile, Kapaito says there is no major difference between the local league and the Ethiopian one that has been for years famed for its fast and free flowing football philosophy.” I haven’t noted any difference between the Kenyan league and the Ethiopian one. Sometimes we play free flowing football and in other times we go for long balls. It did not take me long to adapt to it,” he observed.
