Swedish club fires back at Harambee Stars defender after his furious bust-up over bench role
Swedish club AIK has responded to the Kenyan international who termed his lack of game time ‘unfair,’ seeming to point the finger of blame at the former AFC Leopards defender.
During his time at KuPS, he made 20 league appearances and was named Young Player of the Season, a testament to his impact on the team.
However, his return to AIK in November was marred by an injury that required a minor procedure, limiting his playing time under coach Henning Berg.
