Odera has opened up on the financial challenges that have affected his side this season which partly explain their poor league form, expressing relief following the FKFPL’s recent sponsorship with KBC.
“That was an outstanding performance by my keeper,” Muyoti said. “ I think he is also growing. Of the three keepers we have, he is the most experienced and it is showing,” he added.
“I am happy now that it is showing and I think bringing him into the team shows us that he is making a big difference and as as we continue fixing our defence, he will be the man tasked with ensuring it is organised.
“I am happy he is stepping up to the task and he is doing the job very well.”
