Alex Onchwari: The rock-solid defender daring to wrestle Muhoroni Youth from jaws of relegation
May 8, 2024
The central defender capitalized on the 2018 Chapa Dimba na Safaricom tournament to introduce himself and his talent to the Kenyan football scene
In the thick of a stormy season for Muhoroni youth, there has been one player whose star seems to shine and rise in that darkness of defeat.
Alex Onchwari has been putting exceptional performances for the team making him noticeable in all that.
He concedes that, his impressive performances are not in any way motivated by individual glory but, the success of the team-beating relegation to be precise.
"We're in a bad position in the league but I believe we will perform better in the 6 remaining matches and avoid relegation. That is my target," he opens up.
Onchwari has always been one of the first names in the team sheet with the massive responsibility of anchoring the back line resting on his shoulders.
The team could be flirting with relegation but Onchwari is one of the shinning lights in the rather dark Muhoroni corner.
But one might wonder who is Onchwari and why is he still in Muhoroni's books.
Onchwari was born and bred in the reserve town of Ololulunga located about 30kms from Narok town, Kenya.
It at Ololulunga that he developed love for the game, playing in the fields with his peers as they grazed animals, in school or after attending to their farms.
