The 18-year-old has now been named in the FKFPL team of the week two times in each of the first three FKFPL Game Weeks.
Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat has explained why he fast-tracked teenage sensation Stanley Wilson into his setup during the just-concluded international break.
Wilson, who signed for Kariobangi Sharks from Darajani Gogo in August, has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water, and last Sunday, got off the mark for the William Muluya-coached side during their win over KCB at the Kasarani Annex.

FKFPL William Muluya's prophecy on Harambee Stars teenage prospect Stanley Wilson
The teenage sensation's bright start to life in the FKFPL earned him a late call up to Engin Firat’s Harambee Stars squad for games against Qatar and South Sudan this month.
Wilson produced a Man of the Match performance with his ability to dictate the tempo of the game and give line-breaking passes which instantly won him over.
“Things do not happen by luck. When he was in school, William Muluya, my assistant, informed me about him and we monitored him at this time because he told me about the extraordinary talent that he saw,” Firat said.

STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars prospect bags stoppage time goal for Leicester City
The 19-year-old Kenyan scored his second goal for Leicester City after also netting against Norwich City.
“We were not sure about him, but it is a totally different environment to come from school to the Premier League. I was surprised that he adapted to a new league so fast and we saw at this moment especially after the match against Police that this boy should come early to us and understand which level he has to go to work with the big ones and to understand the first steps of his future.”
Wilson was not able to travel with the squad to Qatar for the friendly because he lacked a passport but was an unused substitute in their second game against South Sudan in Kasarani.
