Napsa Stars coach Mohamed Fathi says he never doubted Emmanuel Mayuka still has some fire left in him after the striker recently rediscovered his scoring touch.
Mayuka over the weekend scored his third competitive goal for Napsa since he joined them on a two-year deal last February as a free agent after over a decade overseas.
On Saturday, the 2012 AFCON winning star guided Napsa to their first league win of the season to end a five-match winless start when they beat Green Buffaloes 1-0 at home in their Lusaka derby clash at Woodlands Stadium.
“Emmanuel Mayuka is my player and is like my young brother and son from 2008 when I took over at Kabwe Warriors and eight months later he began his professional career abroad,” Fathi said.
“A lot of doors were closed for the player before he can here but we brought him to Napsa and he has proved a point to the country.”
Mayuka took his tally to three goals this term after scoring two in the CAF Confederation Cup home and away tie against Ngazi of Comoros.
