Dok, who started his young career at Mathare Flames before joining Tusker’s Youth Team, has shown remarkable promise, earning accolades for his creativity and tenacity in midfield.

Reacting to his promotion, Dok said it was a dream come true and his goal is to sustain his place in the senior team.

“I am really delighted because this is everything I dreamed of when I joined the Youth Team. I am glad to see all the hard work pay off, but for me, I have just started. I need to keep working hard to ensure that I sustain myself in the team and move on to the next step of my career,” he stated.

Dok joins Ugandan duo left-back George Kaddu and striker Boban Zirintusa, who joined the club this week. The club has also signed Alex Onchwari, Eric Balecho, Jacob Onyango, and Dennis Wanjala.
