Bandari coach Odhiambo hails star-man Wadri after weekend brace

Bandari head coach Ken Odhiambo has applauded the performance of Ugandan import William Wadri following his exploits during the weekend Kenya Premier League match against Sony Sugar at the Mbaraki Sports Club.

Wadri scored a brace in the 3-0 rout of Sony and coach Odhiambo has described the Ugandan hitman as “a great asset to the club” whom they will bank on to tear opponents in future league matches this season.

According to Odhiambo, Wadri was not available for pre-season hence taking time to get in shape, which explains his absence from the team’s first four matches of the campaign.

His first appearance came a cameo show against Gor Mahia where they lost 2-0.

“We introduced Wadri in the last quarter of  our previous league match against Gor Mahia in Machakos and he performed quite well and based on that performance we decided to name him in the starting line up in the following league match against Sony Sugar last Saturday and he delivered.’’

Asked why he decided to rest Wadri after he scored the second goal, coach Odhiambo said the striker had picked an injury after colliding with an opponent.

Wadri joined Bandari at the beginning of the season from Uganda Premier League side Maroons FC.

The dockers travel to Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega this weekend to take on Vihiga United in their next league assignment and if Wadri’s top form is anything to go by, Vihiga’s defence will have to be on high alert.
