The 37-year-old KCB Rugby flanker said that he wants to crown his playing career that he described as successful in Tokyo.
Leading Kenya Sevens for the second time at the Olympics is a great honour that Andrew Amonde will be embracing as he plans to hang his boots after serving the game diligently for 15 years.
“Even though it has taken time, it has eventually come and I can only attribute it to patience, hard work and God’s blessings,” said Amonde, who has played for Kenya Sevens since 2006.
