Versatile Nairobi City Stars forward Brian Mose has now trained his sights on being a regular starter in the Kenyan Premier League.
Mose made a big leap from fourth-tier side Total Spurs in Narok to join Simba wa Nairobi this season.
The forward, who signed a season-long contract in the offseason from the Narok-based FKF Division Two side, has already featured in the opening two games of the 2023/24 KPL season.
Other than being a typical number nine, the left-footed Mose drifts to either flank and also plugs in as a number 10. Powerful throw-ins are his added advantage.
He earned his debut against Muhoroni Youth at Kasarani Annex as a second-half substitute and almost came off with an assist after his long and sharp throw in the dying minutes – that earned a penalty – failed to count as the spot kick was spurned.
Speaking on his move and debut, Mose said: “I am fighting to be in the starting eleven. Currently, I am catching up with the system of play. I have given myself a target of four games after which I know I’ll be somewhere. By then I will have settled and I know the coach will appreciate what I can offer and hopefully, he’ll consider me as a starter.”
He added: “I now have the opportunity and I want to make it happen for me as well as the club. As long as I get the time (to play) I will make it count.”
Against Muhoroni, Mose came off for flyer Samuel Kapen deep in the second half for his maiden top-flight minutes. His second game was against Bidco United at the same venue.
“The debut was amazing. It gave me a starting point. I have so far seen the structure and style of play, as well as the organization, which are very different from the leagues I have played in before,” he noted.
