Midfielder feted as February's finest courtesy of his three goals

An on-form Jackson Macharia has been named the Tusker February player of the month.

The creative midfielder claimed the award after netting three crucial goals during the month.

The dreadlocked player scored a dramatic late goal to hand The Brewers a 1-0 over Wazito before doubling his tally in the month during their 4-1 demolition of Posta Rangers.



Macharia who was largely used as an impact player in the month engineered Tusker's recovery in their 2-1 win over Nzoia Sugar in the third match. Tusker were headed for a 1-0 loss but Macharia who had come in the second half levelled matters before Henry Meja notched home the winner.

The former Thika United midfielder becomes the second recipient of the club award which comes with a Ksh.10,000 token after Meja who bagged it in January.

Macharia is understood to have faced off with Meja who also had three goals against his name.

The teenage sensation who bagged the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) January Player of the Month helped himself with a brace against Rangers and headed home the winner against Nzoia.

The eleven-time champions will play returnees Nairobi City Stars in their next match.
