Kenya Under 18 and Kakamega Homeboyz goalkeeper Ibrahim Wanzala is hoping to make a stronger comeback next season.

The Junior stars stopper hasn’t been the fairest one this season, having faced a stiff competition.

Wanzala dropped down in the Kakamega Homeboyz goalkeeping pecking order at the start of the season, with Faruk Shikalo and James Sseruba preferred ahead of him in the goal post.

Wanzala rose to prominence during the regional competition, where he only conceded three goals and made two heroic penalty saves in the National team Under 18 in the semi final against Rwanda.

The young custodian sustained anterior cruciate ligament damage in his left knee, that has kept him out for the majority of this season.

“It has been a disappointing season, particularly after the breakthrough midway through the first half of the season. I believe the knee injury derailed my progress and is the primary reason for my absence from action,” he said.

” My competition has increased since Masaka’s arrival, which has helped the goalkeeping department. Regardless of the competition, I am working hard to return stronger next season and hopefully be preferred in the starting spot,” Wanzala concluded.”
