I already feel like a champion. I have my work cut out because there is a lot of competition in the team, but that is what makes a player better,\u201d Sakari said.<\/p>\n<p>For Bwire, joining Tusker is most definitely a huge leap in his career. He gradually carved his path to greatness after honing his skills at Kariobangi Sharks\u2019 academy side during his formative years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel delighted to be making another step in my career. Tusker is a big team and they will be playing continental football this season and that is a challenge that I am really looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI joined the team in training for the first time today and I really felt welcomed. I didn\u2019t feel like a visitor at all. Now it is about getting down to work and putting in the effort,\u201d added Bwire who also featured for Emerging Stars in the Cecafa U-23 championship in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>Tusker chairman Daniel Aduda said the club was privileged to rope in two national team players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really feel delighted to bring on board national team players who have gathered immense experience. Their presence, especially as we head to play continental football, will be a huge asset to the coaching department,\u201d said Aduda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
