For the second time in five months, midfielder Abuyeka Kubasu was on the field of play against Gor Mahia in the premier league.
Better still, in his second show, on Saturday 17 February 2024 during a matchday 22 FKF Premier League tie in Machakos, Abuyeka earned his most minutes in the topflight league after coming on early in the second half for Japanese forward Yuto Kusaba.

Back in September 2023, he earned his topflight debut – alongside former Vapor teammate Robinson Asenwa – against Gor Mahia in Kasarani during matchday three after earning 15 minutes of playtime.
“I had waited for long and I am happy to have finally returned to the field. I gave my all against and I will do the same when handed more playtime in the upcoming games,” said Kubasu

“It has not been easy for me because I had to return to the basics and improve on a few areas that I needed to upgrade and improve on during training sessions and friendly games,”
“Nothing comes easy. To get here, motivation from my coaches and teammates has been worth appreciating. I am now happy and raring to go,” he added
In between the two Gor Mahia games, Abuyeka had a cameo show against Kenya Police on matchday six at the Police Sacco Stadium and has had to wait for four-and-a-half months for what was only his third premier league game.
