Mutambu who trained with the team for the first time today after returning from international duty with Harambee Stars in India, said he was keen to continue with his scoring form at his new team and is ready to to fight for a starting place against seasoned strikers Stephen Waruru and Kepha Aswani who have scored six league goals apiece and Ugandan international Umaru Kasumba who was the team’s top scorer last season.

“I am very happy to have joined a big team like Sofapaka. I’m sure I’m going to learn a lot in this team and I want to win many trophies with this family,” said Mutambu after training with the team for the first time at Eastleigh High School.
He added: “I know I will be fighting for a starting place against some best players in the league, but I’m ready for the challenge. I just need to prove myself by banging in goals every time the coach gives me a chance to play.”

Mutambu who scored on his debut match for Stars against Equatorial Guinea, has six league goals on his name and believes that with the quality of players at Sofapaka, he would score more goals at his new station
