The midfielder has been part of the last two Harambee Stars squads but is yet to make a single appearance.
Newly acquired Tusker FC midfielder Joseph Mwangi has revealed he is determined to earn his debut for Harambee Stars and use it to build on more national team caps.
Mwangi, who signed for the Brewers after a stellar season in a Nzoia Sugar shirt where he scored 14 goals and registered 17 assists, was part of the Harambee Stars setup that traveled to Mauritius for the Four Nations Tournament in June but never made an appearance in both games against Pakistan and Mauritius.

FOOTBALL Reformed Kenyan street boy completes move to Belarusian club after transfer saga
The midfielder roamed the streets of Nyahururu, Nakuru, and Nairobi after fleeing the bandit-infested area of Baragoi due to the rampant cattle rustling.
The 26-year-old’s stellar season for Nzoia earned him a call-up to the Harambee Stars provisional squad in March ahead of the friendly match against Iran, but he was left out of the final traveling party to the Middle Eastern country.
He has revealed he is grateful for being part of the squad twice but is now determined to earn his first cap sooner rather than later.

OPINION: Kenya must invest in youth and grassroots football to become a regular World Cup and AFCON side. This is why
If Harambee Stars is to qualify for its first ever World Cup and always go far at the AFCON, this is why it must invest in youth and grassroots football.
Mwangi has revealed his ‘hurt’ at seeing Kenya drop from 102nd in the FIFA World Rankings to 105 after losing 1-0 to Mauritius, and feels making his debut will play a part in helping the nation abate the drop and improve.
“If you look first, it has been hurting me being part of the setup but not playing. We were ranked 102nd but dropped slightly, which infuriated me.
