Personal Information

I began my soccer journey at a tender age in junior primary school, where my passion for the sport was nurtured through participation in local community academies and tournaments. This early involvement not only honed my skills but also allowed me to contribute to my school and community academy’s success, leading to several medals and trophies.

In November 2018, while awaiting my national examination results after completing Grade 7, I was invited to trials at Pamushana High School. I was fortunate enough to qualify, earning the nickname “Joshua ‘Kimmich’” in homage to the renowned German professional footballer, Joshua Walter Kimmich. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of an exciting chapter in my football career.

In January 2019, I attended a two-week training camp, which further solidified my commitment to the sport. Upon the start of the academic year, I was awarded a sports scholarship that covered my education from 2019 to 2024. Throughout my time at Pamushana High, I represented the school in numerous tournaments at the cluster, district, provincial, and national levels, achieving notable success and accumulating various trophies and awards.

I am proud to share that I graduated from Pamushana High on January 10, 2024, achieving an impressive score of 9 points. With my high school journey now completed, I am eager to pursue scholarship opportunities to play professional soccer and contribute my skills and dedication to a team at the next level.

Thank you for considering my journey and aspirations in the beautiful game of football.
