Kenyan playing for German side Bayern Munich

By Tony Owori

Perhaps it may sound a surprise but here is one Kenyan in Bernard Mwarome playing for Bayern Munich junior team – U19.

The 18 year defensive midfielder is a key figure in the junior team with high hopes of making it bigger in future. For the better part of this season, has been sideline by an injury (cruciate ligament rapture) sustained during the offseason but there is a steady improvement and it’s hoped he will be back to action soon.

Born in Germany, Mwarome has been in the Bayern junior team since July 2014 and he is managed by HMH Sportmanagement as the agent.

Before signing a two year contract with U-19 Bayern team, the young talent was in the same circles of Bayern doing his business for the U-17 team.
