Lusajo still topping Namungo FC's scoring charts

The towering goal-getter has so far been the club's most reliable attacker since it won promotion to the Mainland Premier League in the 2019/20 season.

Lusajo was adjudged the top goal scorer in the First Division League (now Championship League) in the 2018/19 season, notching 16 goals- a feat that had become a record yet to be broken.

Since promotion to the NBC Premier League, Lusajo has had a good streak in finding the opponents' back of the net and has been called several times to the senior national side, Taifa Stars.

The attacker disclosed: "I want to scale great heights, this leads me to score many goals in the Premier League and even in the Championship League- a tournament that has seen me hold the record for scoring the most goals in a season."

In the 2019/20 Premier League season, which had Namungo FC battling it out in it for the first time, the goal-getter finished the season with 12 goals, a performance that attracted many Premier League teams.

Lusajo was mentioned a lot in the transfer market for the 2020/21 season as he was on Yanga's radar but, in the end, he landed at Kinondoni Municipal Council FC.

He, though, did not last long at the team due to various reasons that made him stay out for a long time and end the season with four goals.

In the 2021/22 season, he returned to Namungo FC and finished the season as the top goal scorer having notched 10 goals and he has, this season, already scored eight goals.

He started this season by scoring two goals in his outfit's 2-2 draw with Mtibwa, he went into the score sheet in Namungo FC's clashes against Ihefu SC, Ruvu Shooting, Coastal Union, Mbeya City FC, Geita Gold FC, posting one goal in each tie.

Lusajo was last on target when Namungo FC took on Tanzania Prisons in Lindi on March 11.

Out of the attacker's eight goals, only one goal has been scored away, in a 2-1 defeat against Mbeya City FC at Sokoine Stadium, Mbeya on November 4.

Lusajo further pointed out that seeing his health improve after recovering from the injuries he had sustained at the end of last year makes him happy.

"I cooperate with my colleagues to see that we get better results for the team in terms of scoring more goals, it is only a matter of time, the important thing is to see the team's success comes first," Lusajo noted.

Lusajo started his football career at Machava FC of Kilimanjaro which participated in the Second Division League (SDL) in 2010, he also turned out for another Kilimanjaro outfit, Panone FC.

In the 2012/13 season, he joined Yanga and signed a two-year contract for the Jangwani Street club, but he served the team for only one season in 2013/14 and was then roped in by JKT Ruvu (JKT Tanzania) for a one-year contract.
