City Stars ace enjoying a run of games

Nairobi City Stars defender Herit Mungai is happy to be seeing more minutes for the club and wants to feature in the remaining matches of the season.

The left-back has featured in City Stars’ last four games in the absence of sidelined Dennis Wanjala and has enjoyed a relatively good run with Simba wa Nairobi and the former Kariobangi Sharks man does not want to let go of the slot.

In an interview, the defender who has featured in five games so far this season admitted that it has been a journey to break into the team’s starting lineup and wants to keep his place for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign. There are nine matches left before the season comes to a close.

“I am humbled and I am looking forward to playing the rest of the matches. It took a while to get here but while here, I want to maintain my spot in the team,” he told the club website.

After 25 rounds of matches, the Nicholas Muyoti-led team is currently third in the table with 42 points. They are eleven points off leaders Kakamega who looked destined to clinch this season’s title which will be their first in history.

The team has been in contention for the title throughout the season so far but a couple of negative results in matches they ordinarily would have won have seen the gap between them and Homeboyz widen.

Next for Simba wa Nairobi is an away game against Ulinzi Stars at the newly opened Ulinzi Sports Complex in Lang’ata.
