“I think my fitness is at its optimum. I have gelled well with the team as well and we are in the right track.”

The former Kariobangi Sharks striker has vowed to take it ‘a game at a time’ and see if he will get more goals.
“Game after game. I can’t really set a target now but I think it will be good if we get goals on a regular basis which will be good.”
