Striker Arthur Gitego has reflected on reasons behind his scintillating form in Kenya as he continues to settle for life at AFC Leopards.

The Rwanda international has had a bright start for AFC Leopards since his two-year move from Marines in February, scoring four goals in his last two games.

He netted a hat trick in the League cup against PAC University before putting in a man-of-the-match performance from which he scored in Leopards’ 2-0 victory over Nzoia Sugar in the Kenyan Premier League on Sunday, March 3.

Gitego told Times Sport things are working for him in Kenya because he changed his mindset.

"I have scored four goals in two games which is an extraordinary start for me and I look forward to banging in more goals," he said in an interview.

"The secret is that I changed my mentality and life program. Now I am only focused on one thing which is football and I am going all out."

The former Marines forward had as many as three offers in the January transfer window from a host of foreign teams including FC Gagra in Georgia, FC Shkupi in Macedonia as well as AFC Leopards in Kenya before opting for the latter.
