Mushira, who missed the National Championship in July following a dispute raised by his former school, Highway Secondary, returned with purpose, guarding the Scorpions’ goal throughout the tournament.
Though unlucky to concede twice in under 40 seconds during the competition, the custodian stood tall in the face of adversity, guiding his team to crucial wins.
In his eight appearances, the former Gogo Youth goalkeeper kept four clean sheets and left an indelible mark on the tournament.
In the semi-final, Mushira’s quick thinking launched the attack that ended with Marvin Ashiundu netting the equalizer, forcing a penalty shootout.
When it mattered most, Mushira saved William Mutambo’s decisive kick, sending the Scorpions to the final where they narrowly fell 2-1 to Uganda’s Bukedea Comprehensive Academy.
Speaking to Mozzart Sport, the young shot-stopper revealed that this tournament was his swansong in school competitions and is now bracing for the next chapter.
Mushira expressed his desire to join a Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) club to further his development.
“It is a tough field, yes, but life has already hardened me.
There are a couple of Harambee Stars players who have helped me get this far.
Now I want to carve my own path. I would be happy to land at a top-tier side where I can grow and get valuable minutes under my belt,” he said.
The 2024 Secondary School champion with Musingu carries more than just his gloves as he bears the hopes of his family.
“I have decided that football will be my career. I want to use it to change my family’s fortunes. I want to do it for my late dad, he left a huge responsibility behind, but I believe football can help me carry it,” Mushira shared, his voice firm with resolve.
He added, “I have seen what football has done for many, and I believe with the right people around me, it will happen, no rush.”

Mushira bows out of the school games scene after three years of excellence with Olympic High School, Highway, and Musingu, collecting a national gold and an East African silver medal.
His next target is to replicate that success at club level and beyond.
