The Kenyan international and former AFC Leopards striker, John Mark Makwata, has made his name in the game largely for his special art of scoring goals.
A natural goal poacher, Makwatta’s goal scoring exploits are well documented in his home country, Kenya where he lit up the Kenyan league for his goal scoring abilities.
He was particularly a menace to defenders and goalkeepers during the 2015 league season, finishing second runner-up with fourteen goals.
In the 2019/2020 league season, Makwatta was yet again a sensation for AFC Leopards where he scored 13 goals in 10 matches. It was such impressive stats that caught the attention of ZESCO United Football Club to go for the nascent striker.
Makwatta combines fearsome pace and power with intelligent movements on and off the ball and of course his finishing abilities. Makwatta is also excellent at holding the ball; bringing his team-mates into play.
His debut goal for ZESCO United against Mufulira Wanderers barely days after agreeing to join the Super League champions was a clear show of Makwatta’s abilities to dispatch goals at will.
The Kenyan prolific striker, dazzled the ZESCO United fans when he doubled his goal tally in his second game against Kitwe giants, Power Dynamos. It is not shocking that Makwatta’s name is already music to the ears of many ZESCO United faithful’s.
It is further evident that John Mark Makwatta is a great catalyst to ZESCO United’s quest to remain at the summit of the Zambian game.
