KCB midfielder hoping to resume online teaching classes

KCB midfielder Harun Thomas is hoping to secure short-term online teaching classes during the time sporting activities remain suspended.

The Certificate in Primary Teacher Education holder traded the chalk for football in July 2019 after agreeing to join former top-flight side Sony Sugar.

Harun served as a teacher at the Migori based Kenya Relief Academy before joining the sugar men who have since slipped to the National Super League.

He however did not last long at the Awendo based club as he was among the more than a dozen players who exited after their coffers dried.

Having graduated from the Eldoret-based Mosoriot Teachers Training College in 2015, the midfielder says he is hoping to capitalize on the unwelcome break to train pupils daily after wrapping his home-based training.

"I am open to online teaching for the time being. I always enjoy free time after online training and morning runs which can be used to tutor pupils albeit online. Schools might have been closed but those who wish to have their kids do online tuition can reach out to me. It is a venture which has its own fair share of challenges considering that I can't plan well since we don't know when sports will resume," he said.

Harun who joined the bankers in January last year rued that the indefinite suspension of sporting activities would work against his plan of establishing himself as a starter in Zedekiah Otieno's first team.

The attack-minded player had depicted flashes of brilliance in his first season at the Ruaraka based club but recurring injuries have deterred his progress.

"I was slowly regaining my fitness levels and form lost after battling injuries in the past one year. Nonetheless, I will keep on observing the online training regime from the club and hopefully, my contribution will help the team win titles when we resume," he added.
