Amwayi working on ending his goal drought

Kakamega Homeboyz midfielder Kevin Amwayi has set his eyes on ending his prolonged goal drought.

Amwayi joined Homeboyz midway through the previous season from Football Kenya Federation Division 2 side Kona Rangers.

Prior to turning out for Rangers, the experienced midfielder had been out of top-flight football for three years, having left Ulinzi Stars in 2019.

The former Harambee Stars midfielder last found the back of the net during the inaugural Mozzart Bet Cup finals against Tusker FC, in which his stunning volley handed Kakamega Homeboyz their maiden top-flight trophy.

His goal during the finals saw him sign off the season with four goals to his name, having scored during Kariobangi Sharks, AFC Leopards, Gor Mahia, and Tusker matches.

The virtuoso left-footed attacker has been industrious for Abana Beingo and has been directly involved in four of the sixteen league goals scored by Homeboyz.

The offensive attacker is jointly leading Homeboyz assists charts alongside Eston Omengo. The duo have recording four assists apiece.

The ex-military man has admitted to pressure for not being on the scoresheet but says he's sharpening his finishing skills and believes he will soon bang the goals.

"It's so unfortunate I haven't been able to score a goal yet this campaign. It's a drought that has been bothering me; nevertheless, I have been effortlessly putting in work in our trainings, and I am optimistic I will soon be back at my best," he stated.

Despite the goal drought, Amwayi is satisfied with his goal involvement, saying his playing position requires him to contribute and create goal-scoring opportunities.

"My playing position is one that requires me to be effective in decision-making so as to create chances for our strikers. I am happy with progress so far, and I look forward to creating lots of changes upfront," he added.

Homeboyz will face the Ulinzi Stars on Sunday, and Amwayi is looking forward to taking on his former employer, saying the match will be important in extending Homeboyz's fine run.

"We had a good run before the break, and I am hopeful we can extend our good form on Sunday, though it won't be an easy match," he concluded.
