Tusker FC defender Jimmy Mbugua is hoping to get more games under his belt and help the team as they charge to defend their title after staging a great comeback in the season so far.The defender has been important for the Brewers lately, slotting either in the right-back or left-back position in the early stages of the campaign as required by coach Robert Matano and is working to be the go-to guy in either of the two positions.“I need to do more and play well until the end of the season. I want to challenge myself to be outstanding in my position and also provide more assists for my teammates. It is just a matter of keeping the belief and giving my best,” he told the club’s media.Know your player.Our Captain Jimmy Mbugua Ndungi2018-To date: Tusker Youth2017 June – 2017 Dec: Gachie Soccer Fc, County league, Kiambu2017 January- 2017 June: Lucky Boys, Kiambu2012- 2016: Gachie Soccer fc,County league, Kiambu#OurYouthOurFuture #TYFC #TuskerFC pic.twitter.com/N9GlYw8iSX— TuskeryouthFC (@Tuskeryouthfc) April 27, 2020 Mbugua believes that flexibility is key for any player and one should give their all when picked to do duty in a certain position, saying that it has not been hard for him to adjust to whichever position deployed as he knows what is needed in each.“I believe that as a player, you need to be flexible.
