Asike was involved for the first time as Whitehawk earned a crucial 1-0 victory against Folkestone Invicta at the Enclosed Ground on Saturday. The win marked an inspiring start to Shaun Saunders and Adam Simpson’s return to the dugout.
Asike has played club football for Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Sofapaka and Tusker. In April 2022 he signed for Swedish club Karlstad .He returned to Tusker on a short-term deal in September 2023 after contractual problems at Karlstadn.
He made his international debut for Kenya in 2012. The win on Saturday moved Whitehawk closer to climbing out of the relegation zone, giving the team the much-needed momentum.
