Hopeful Meja reveals plans to become regular Harambee Star after maiden call-up

Tusker striker Henry Meja has explained how he hopes to cement a place in the Kenya national team after earning a maiden call by Harambee Stars head coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee.

Mulee named a 28-man squad for local players who are expected to begin training in preparations for the upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt and Togo.

Meja – who has scored six league goals this season – was called up alongside Elvis Rupia of AFC Leopards and Erick Kapaito of Kariobangi Sharks. The youngster is expected to face stiff competition from Rupia and Kapaito, who have scored 10 and 12 Premier League goals, respectively.
