“I only scored two times in July and I’ve already scored more this month, so hopefully, I can get the award again before the end of the season,” Agwanda added.

Agwanda was announced the winner after garnering a total of 17 votes, beating Bandari goalie Farouk Shikhalo and teammate Tobias Omondi. 

Agwanda was in imperious form in July, where he found the net 4 times; against Nzoia Sugar and Sofapaka, and assisting twice as well.
