She&#8217;s already at a good club and we can only hope she gets a better deal abroad. Her stats are encouraging and I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s going to move,&#8221; Alumira said.<\/p>\n<p>The pair won three WPL titles together at Vihiga (2018, 2019, 2020). Alumira is currently the Fountain Gates coach in Tanzania women&#8217;s league.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I gave her debut in 2018 and she&#8217;s been fantastic throughout. She deserved the award if her performance are any barometer. She is a hardworking player who always strives for excellence. In football, it&#8217;s only time that can tell,&#8221; Alumira added.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old was part of the Starlets&#8217; side that won the Cecafa Women&#8217;s Championship in Tanzania in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>She also helped Vihiga win the Cecafa club Champions League qualifiers in 2021 and also played in the tournament proper in Egypt September the same year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
