STARS ABROAD 'Motivated' Watenga targets more top PSL performances with Golden Arrows
The Uganda Cranes goalkeeper, currently on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, has been in top form for his side, with his recent performance earning him a clean sheet and man of the match award against Sekhukhune United on Friday, something he says motivates him to keep performing better.
Arafat Usama committed to the Kasasiro Boys in August 2021 with a three-year contract.
Since then, he's established himself as a key player, netting four goals across various competitions.
The 22-year-old showcased his skills by scoring twice in the FUFA Super Eight classification match against SC Villa and by netting two goals in KCCA FC’s 3-2 victory against Libya’s Abu Salim in the CAF Confederation Cup's second preliminary round at St Mary’s Stadium Kitende.
