Harambee stars striker John Mark Makwatta recently completed his move from Buildcon Fc of Zambia to the cash rich Al Nasr plying its trade in the Kuwaiti Premier League.
It has been reported that the Asian side bought out Makwatta’s contract for a fee in the region of 1 million Kenyan shillings and the deal will see the former Ulinzi stars star pocket 10000 US Dollars on a monthly basis( 1 million Kshs).
And the incentives are likely to increase given that the former Ulinzi star’s striker scored on his debut to aid his team into a 3-0 win in the league.
The former City Stars striker joined Buildcon in March 2017 in a two-year-deal and had a fair stint with the Ndola-based moneybags.
Makwatta was recruited while playing for Kenyan JMJ Academy, in his early days; he played as a midfielder before the then Nairobi city stars coach Jan Koops converted him into a striker.
He spent three seasons with the Nairobi-based outfit before he was snapped up by Ulinzi Stars Fc. During his departure Jan Koops described him as an integral part of the team whose effect would be missed. He left Nairobi City Stars together with Boniface Onyango with whom they had a blossoming partnership that yielded five goals.
In 24 October 2013 he joined Kenyan premier league Side Ulinzi Stars Fc, it is at Ulinzi that his attacking flair and thirst for goal was discovered. At first he was deployed as a midfielder but was later moved upfront where he thrived during his second season with the Nakuru-based outfit.
