Tusker forward Stewart Omondi believes competition for places within the team is helping him realise his true potential
Tusker forward Stewart Omondi believes competition for places within the side’s setup is pushing him to work hard in order to earn as many starts as possible.
Omondi has become a regular starter in recent times after being an impact sub for much of his career in Ruaraka, which has coincided with the brewers getting three wins in their last five league games.
Tusker now find themselves in seventh place after a bad start to the league, nine points behind leaders Gor Mahia, and Omondi believes that working hard to keep impressing coach Robert Matano will only help the team moving forward.
