I can’t handle any more because of the intense pain in my knee.” “I have to use this time that am out of the game to look for finances and even reflect on my career and see if there is anything I can do until I undergo an operation,” added Mutoni. In 2012, Mutoni was decorated with the 2011 National volleyball league’s best player while still playing his trade with NUR.
