Harambee Stars goalkeeper Patrick Matasi is keen to return to the Kenyan Premier League a week after announcing his departure from Ethiopian giants St George SA.
Matasi said he is not keen to play abroad again. “I will definitely play in the Kenyan Premier League next season. I want to take care of my family. My wife and son are yet to recover fully from the accident which occurred on June 1,” said Matasi, 33.
Matasi spoke to the Star at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega after a morning training session with Kakamega Homeboyz.
However, Matasi, who has been linked with his former club and current leaders Tusker, remained cagey on his next destination.
“I have not decided yet even though I have offers on the table. If Homeboyz give me a good deal, I will sign for them,” said the experienced goalkeeper.
Matasi said he has fully recovered from the accident and is raring to go.
“I’m in good shape and I want to thank God. I’m eagerly waiting to get back to action again,” noted Matasi.
On June 22, Matasi announced his departure from St Georges on his Facebook. He played 41 matches and kept 22 clean sheets. He thanked fans and teammates for supporting him during his time in Ethiopia.
“I would like to appreciate the Saint George SA fraternity for giving me the opportunity to work with and for them since 2018. 41 matches and 22 clean sheets later, the time has come for me to say goodbye to the club that I so loyally served. I leave Ethiopia with more experience, not just in the game but also in life in general,” he posted on Facebook.
