Tusker FC confirms the sensational return of star striker Eric Kapaito, marking a bold statement of intent as the Brewers gear up for the new season.
The two-time FKF Premier League Golden Boot winner rejoins the club after a stint in Tanzania, bringing with him not only experience but a lethal scoring instinct that made him a fan favorite before his departure last season.
Kapaito left Tusker at the end of the 2023-24 season, having scored 12 goals to help the team do well in the domestic season. His return signals a major boost for the club’s attacking force as they look to reclaim domestic dominance and make a stronger impact on the continental stage. He has signed a one year contract with the team
Speaking during the unveiling at Ruaraka Grounds, Kapaito expressed his excitement:
“Tusker FC is home and I feel that I have returned to a place where I felt comfortable, happy and loved. I have a deep connection with this club and the fans, and I’m hungry to help bring more trophies to this great team. I’m back, focused, and ready to give my all,” Kapaito said.
Head coach Charles Okere hailed Kapaito’s return as a key piece of the puzzle:
“Eric brings a lot to this team goals, leadership, and a winning mentality. He knows our system, and his experience will be vital both on and off the pitch. Last season we struggled a bit in the second leg because we didn’t have enough firepower upfront and his return gives us that cushion,” Okere said.
