New York Red Bulls II coach Ibrahim Sekagya has lavished praise on Ibrahim Kasule as a smart and intelligent player.

Kasule has become an instant hit in the MLS Next Pro scoring nine times in 10 successive games and is arguably the most important for the Sekagya-coached side at the moment.

In an interview with the club media, the former Uganda Cranes coach explained how he got to sign Kasule as well.

“I went back home and then saw him when he played for his team and he was a very interesting player,” started Sekagya.

“And because we're starting to build the team, I decided to bring him here, it was good because you can see what he is doing and his developing of him until now he has been fantastic,” he added.

“I still think there is a lot he has to improve, he has to learn but for now from the way how we started, until where he is now I think has been a good journey.

Ibrahim (Kasule) is a smart and intelligent player; he understands the game and has learnt how we play and you can see how he has learnt all the things we are telling him. I think you can see he is a smart player in the team and knows how to carry the team.

Kasule who joined the American side from Wakiso Giants in January hailed his coach and staff who have improved him and pushed him to the limits.

“I got the trust from the coach (Sekagya),” he stated. “He advises you, encourages and sometimes keeps your head first and is always pushing you to work hard.”
