STARS ABROAD Mukwala makes Ghana Premier League team of the first round

Fred Mwambu • 13:00 - 18.02.2023

Mukwala is the top-joint scorer alongside Mizack Afriyie from Berekum Chelsea with eight goals. He was named among the eleven best from the 18-team league.

Steven Desi Mukwala put away the frustrations of an early struggle at Ghanaian giant Asante Kotoko to put up a spirited performance that has earned him recognition.

The striker left URA FC in August last year ending his running three-year contract. He joined Kotoko on a two-year deal with an option to extend.

The Uganda cranes striker however, had to wait until the end of October to score his first goal in Kotoko’s 3-0 win over King Faisal in the league.

From there on, the 23-year-old forward has gone on to score seven more to place him joint-top on the leading scorers' list.

He has eight alongside Mizack Afriyie from Berekum Chelsea. Mukwala was included in the best team from the first round.

Aduan Stars lead the table with 32 as Mukwala’s Kotoko follows closely with 27.

Mukwala is the third Ugandan to play in the Ghana Premier League after George Abege and Joseph Ochaya.
