“Last season was my first in the Kenyan topflight. The few games I featured in gave me the perfect orientation. My work is now cut out and I know what I need to do in my second season,”
“I am putting in the right shift in training each day to improve my game,”
“Once I get it right in training my efforts will reflect in the league. I want to score the goals as well as contribute to them when not scoring.” he added
From his 12 games last season, Abala clocked 348 regular game minutes. He scored his maiden goal, and equalizer, in the penultimate game of the season against Sofapaka in Dandora on 15 June 2024. The game ended 1-1.
