RUGBY Kenya Sevens legend Collins Injera secures new job in public service
The former Shujaa star has traded the private sector for public service after his highly decorated rugby career.
Injera, 37, who recently got a job in the public service, has revealed he is focusing on other things in his life at the moment, which may make him not rush into the running to be part of the set up for now.
“I will not talk about that because at the moment I am focusing on different things in my life,” Injera said.
However, the World Rugby hall of famer insists that should an opportunity arise in future to be part of the set up in any capacity, he will be open to it so that he can use his vast experience to rub it on onto the younger players coming through.
“Why not? It is an opportunity I would love to be involved in. Not necessarily as a coach but being involved in sharing the knowledge with the boys, the young guys who are just coming in.
“Most of the boys who are coming in now won’t have that luxury of…they have played internationally, so they really need some experienced guys to share some experiences, challenges and everything so that they can learn from them.
“For now, I am totally focused on different things in my life in terms of my career and everything else but it is one thing I would love to do.”

RUGBY Menengai Oilers coach explains why sunglasses never leave his eyes on match days
Gibson Weru has made it a common occurrence to don sunglasses on math days but is there a ‘ritual’ behind it?
Injera already bagged his rugby level one certificate, but is still set to do his second level one as he “aims to get better” in his new role, a principle he carried in his days as a player.
“I have done my level one. They were conducting level two courses in Nakuru but I could not make it because I have other commitments.
“You do not know everything. That is how I also was as a player. You cannot know everything. For me it is about getting better and learning each and every day. For sure, in terms of coaching and understanding, we all keep learning. We are all learners of this world.”
Injera hang up his boots in January 2023 after a glittering 14-year career playing rugby at the highest level.
