Confidence from the coach

James Odoch, Express's head coach revealed that he looked for the player and convinced him to join the Wankulukuku-based side.

“I approached Alpha and I had to speak to the father (Bebe Cool) before the deal was finalized. He is a young talented player with the potential to improve,” Odoch told the press.

“We shall not put him under pressure and will see which matches to field him. He will need guidance here and there. I have watched him at Proline and witnessed his growth curve,” the gaffer added.
