Coach Okere attributes Ogam’s goal repertoire to ‘keenness to instructions"

Tusker head coach Charles Okere has attributed striker Ryan Ogam’s impressive goal return to keenness to instructions.

Ogam scored a brace on Sunday to secure three points for his side as they won 2-1 against defending champions Gor Mahia in a match played at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos.

‘’It is all about being keen to my instructions. Ogam is disciplined in training and in play. He is so impressive and I believe he will go places,’’ said Okere.

The lethal striker has so far netted 15 goals after 17 rounds, having played in only 14 matches for the Brewers, who are perched atop the log on 33 points from 17 matches.

The striker joined Tusker FC at the beginning of the season from the now-defunct Rainbow FC, and he has been consistent in his goal-poaching duty.

 Ogam was also featured for the national team, Harambee Stars, for the first time during the recent Mapinduzi Cup in Zanzibar.

 Ogam is no doubt in the conversation for the golden boot and the MVP this season. His consistency and discipline speak for him,’’ added Cheche.

 His closest challenger in the golden boot race is currently KCB’s Francis Kahiro, who has so far netted 8 goals, the same as Brian Michira.

Moses Shummah of Kakamega Homeboyz and Beja Nyamwayi follow in fourth and fifth place, respectively, with 7 and six goals in that order.

 Recently, Tusker FC CEO Sam Nzau was full of praise for the striker who has made an impression in the top-tier league.

‘’I want to thank Ogam for his well-deserved recognition. His discipline has been exemplary on and off the pitch,’’ said Nzau after Tusker recognized Ogam as the October player of the month.

 In the 2023/2024 season, Gor Mahia’s Benson Omalla won the golden boot honours. However, according to the trend, Ogam is currently almost untouchable owing to his free-scoring agenda.

 As the league gets into the second leg, it will be interesting to see any strikers who will challenge Ogam in his quest for the top scorer honor.
