He is an excellent player and a very professional man to work with.<\/p>\n<p>He (Kamusoko) has contributed a lot to the success of the team by scoring important goals for the club. His leadership skills on and off the pitch have also proved vital to most of our young players who are trying to find their feet at the club.<\/p>\n<p>Zesco are on top of the log-standings, eyeing the 2020\/2021 FAZ\/MTN Super League title and Kamusoko has scored four of their 34 goals in 23 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Kamusoko has also played for the now-defunct Njube Sundowns from 2007-8, Underhill, Dynamos, FC Platinum and Young Africans in Tanzania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
