Midfielder Brian Mzee is looking forward to yet another topflight season with Nairobi City Stars.
Mzee aka Mzeeles, has just come through his debut Kenyan Premier league season where he featured in 25 of 34 games for Simba wa Nairobi.
He could have earned more, probably, had he not detoured to Asia at some point in the year.
Mzee is one of 16 players who renewed their contracts for next season. He talks of his tryout, and derailment in the past season.
“My first season in premier league was good as I was able to feature in 25 of 34 games,”
“In January I went to Taiwan to try my trade but things didn’t turn out as planned and I came back,”
“The team welcomed me back very well and I have to thank the management and the entire coaching staff for accepting me back, “
In his debut season, Mzee became a topflight player in the season opener after making a cameo appearance against Muhoroni Youth in Kasarani Annex, and went on to pick his first full game in the next game against Bidco United at Kasarani Annex. That game came with a reward as he was named the most valuable player.
