AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems had said they will be a different side when the league resumes after the two-week international break.
AFC Leopards are set to face newly promoted Kenya Police next after the international break on November 21.
Ingwe lost 17 regular players last season and the Leopards tactician has promised that his team will soon be among the best sides in the league as he continues rebuilding the side.
“We have two friendly matches lined-up before our next match and the players are responding well to training. We narrowly lost some games, but all is not lost.”
“The few experienced players who joined to bolster the squad including goalkeeper Levis Opiyo, Joachim Oluoch and Kingsley Fananmi are adapting quickly to the system as we hope to start registering impressive results,” Patrick Aussems stated.
Aussems stated that he is so far satisfied with the team’s performance despite losing four of their six fixtures, which he blamed on defensive mistakes and poor officiating.
He was speaking after officially naming Marvin Nabwire Omondi, 26, as the new Ingwe captain.
Marvin Nabwire, in 2017 helped Kakamega High School clinch the national secondary schools football title.
The versatile midfielder now takes over from 30-year-old left-back Isaac Kipyegon who joined Tusker minutes before the transfer window closed on November 1.
Nabwire, who had injury problems in his early days at Leopards in 2018 that kept him on the sidelines for almost a year, had the armband as Leopards at the weekend as they lost 1-0 to Sofapaka away in Wundanyi.
