Tusker FC’s young striker, David Polepole, has rapidly ascended from the club’s youth ranks to become a pivotal figure in the senior team. Following an injury to top scorer Ryan-Wesley Ogam, Polepole seized the opportunity to lead Tusker’s attack, making an immediate impact. In his first league start against Posta Rangers, he contributed both a goal and an assist, propelling Tusker to a 2-1 victory and ending a five-match winless streak.
Polepole’s journey began with the youth team, where his consistent performances earned him a call-up to the senior squad. He made his senior debut on February 26, 2025, coming on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against Shabana FC. His first start followed in the FKF Cup against Nairobi United, where he netted his inaugural senior goal.
Expressing gratitude for the trust placed in him, Polepole stated, “I have to thank the coach for giving me this chance. It’s a dream come true… Now, I have to prove to the coach that he made the right decision in promoting me.” Citizen Digital
Born in DR Congo but raised in Kenya, Polepole is eligible to represent either nation internationally. He remains undecided about his international future, acknowledging the opportunities both countries present.
With aspirations to become one of the league’s top scorers and to secure a title with Tusker FC, Polepole’s determination and early successes suggest a promising trajectory for both his club and potential international career.
