Player Profiles

No one took Wekesa to the academy but because he had passion for football, he would pass by the academy training grounds daily after classes are done and watch the training because he did not have money to subscribe to the academy. As time went, he became a ball boy at the academy and gradually got the opportunity to train with the rest of the academy boys. He gave all that was needed while at the training sessions and improved each day hence becoming coach’s favorite boy. This boosted his football career start a lot the fact that Kelvin became an orphan at the age of 4 years old.

After finishing Primary School level Kevin still had a long way to go as far education was concerned. He now needed to attend secondary level despite the fact that he was an orphan with no much financial support.

While playing a friendly game for BOCCA junior academy he caught attention of the crowd and it was his blessing in disguise, he meets Mr. Abdalla Kabwaago who is a staunch sports lover, currently the director/ proprieter Adhola Simbwori Football Club who got interested to understand who Kel5vin was and upon hearing more about him, he became a guardian to him and as time went on, Mr. Abdalla took Kelvin for trials in St Paul High School in Kenya which he passed very well and therefore had free schorlarship. He became one of the best players while at high school, captained the school team in 2022 and 2023 and won awards for best player both at county and regional level in 2023 post primary games while at the school.

After Form four class in 2023 Kevin came back and settled in Uganda where he joined Adhola Simbwori Football Club which was playing fifth division in Tororo District.
