On Saturday, Kenyan international Ayub Timbe finally made his debut for English Championship side Reading FC in a 5-0 thrashing win over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road Stadium.
Reading's Ivorian forward Yakou Meite scored four of the five goals, with George Puscas scoring the other.
Timbe came in for Guinea-Bissau forward Pele Gomes on the hour mark and put in a decent shift, giving fans hope for more playtime in the remaining matches.
Reading had gone three matches without a win, but this result pushes them to 13th on the log with 52 points from 41 matches.
Luton Town remains bottom of the table with 40 points, having played the same number of matches.
Up next for Reading is a home game against 20th-placed Huddersfield on Tuesday evening.
Timbe, who joined the club on loan from Chinese side Beijing Renhe earlier this year, expressed his hopes for more playtime, saying, "I was happy to get some minutes under my belt but well I still need to play more. I hope to get some more minutes in the remaining matches," in an interview with Nairobi News.
