The 28-year-old inspired Perth Glory to victory against expensively-assembled Melbourne.
Harambee Stars prospect Bruce Kamau featured for 77 minutes as Perth Glory continued on their recent good spell of form, beating Melbourne City 4-2 in an Australian top flight clash on Saturday morning.
Kamau held his own in the 77 minutes he was on the pitch playing as a left winger. He made six dribble attempts as he attempted to create something out of nothing and gave two key passes, underpinning his willingness to create chances. He also won a penalty.
However, he found himself giving the ball away too many times, understandable for a flanker.He will be hoping to start finding the back of the net and create assists as soon as possible considering he is yet to do that in 12 league games this season.

Firat gave an example of Ayub Masika’s recent move to Azerbaijan side Sabali and Stanley Wilson’s ongoing trial in Sweden as potential door-openers for more Kenyan players to move there.
The chances continued to flow right to the end of what was another roller-coaster contest and in the very last minute of stoppage-time, Williams played another superb ball to fellow-substitute Anasmo whose cool finish belied his tender years.
Kamau, with his Kenyan roots and Australian upbringing, has been a subject of interest for both nations.
Despite representing Australia at the Youth level, the talented 28-year-old remains eligible to don the Harambee Stars jersey, adding an intriguing subplot to his already impressive career.
