AFC Leopards skipper John Makwatta has won the KPL player of the month award.
Makwatta has helped his team by scoring three goals in just four matches played in the Kenyan Premier League.
He won the SJAK/LG Player of the Month Award for August/September ahead of his teammate Benjamin Ochan and Gor Mahia skipper Kenneth Muguna.
Makwatta expressed hopes to continue scoring goals for his club in a bid to make a comeback into the national team.
“My target is to score more goals and hopefully reach twenty or even surpass come end of the season. I also want to make a comeback to the national team and help out because i know i can. With my current form I can do so much,” he said as quoted by Citizen Digital on Wednesday.
The AFC Leopards striker was awarded a 49-inch television set courtesy of LG.
However, Makwatta might not be given money since the monetary incentive was scrapped off following Sportpesa's exit from the Kenyan market.
Before Sportpesa's exit, player of the month winner used to take home Sh100,000 while his team mates were given the same amount to share among themselves.
SJAK is on the process of looking for a new premier league sponsor after Sportpesa's exit.
