Gor Mahia youngster Amos Nondi hopes
his rise into the senior team as well as frequent call
ups to the national football team Harambee Stars
can inspire him to emulate Tottenham Hotspur
midfielder Victor Wanyama.
Nondi, who is the immediate former Harambee
Stars U-20 skipper, has attributed his rise to self
belief.
“It has been a good season for me because I
have found some playing time at the club and also
got several call ups to the national team. I have not
yet made a break into the final squad but I am working
hard to be there,” Nondi said.
“Definitely my target is to be a regular and move
into the big European Leagues like our captain Victor.
I haven’t had time to train with him because every
time I have been called up, he links up with the team
later on. But it is something I am looking forward to;
learning from him will be a big plus,” the youngster
stated.
The attacking midfielder started his career at
Gor Mahia’s youth team before being loaned out to
Sony Sugar last year to pick up vital Premier League
experience.
At the beginning of the season, he returned to
Nairobi and was immediately promoted to the senior
side where he has been a frequent figure on match
day squad.
“He is still growing with a lot of potential
and I am pleased with what he is doing so far. But
we have to give him time. I am happy with what he is
doing so far,” his coach at Gor Jose Marcelo Ferreira
asserted.
