Kamau opened the scoring for former club Adelaide United in the 2016 Grand Final downing Western Sydney Wanderers 3-1.

Since arriving with City this season, he has 20 appearances to his name and just one goal scored against Brisbane Roar last month.

Kamau was branded as a “cool customer” by City coach Michael Valkanis but in recent weeks has lacked involvement due to tactical change.

“It’s something I’ve always been focused on as a player myself to score more goals,” Kamau said.

“In combination with assisting, I think as a player in the front three, those are two of the things that you’re marked on. It’s something that every player in that area should look at and it’s something I’ve been looking at myself.”

Kamau maintains he is fully fit and ready for action should he be needed and welcomed the healthy competition from teammate Nick Fitzgerald.

And both players may well be needed after Fernando Brandan was ruled out with an ACL injury last Wednesday.

“That’s football, tactical decisions, as a player you want to be playing and for me I’m the same,” he said.

“I always look to be starting and playing games but when it comes to that. Sometimes there’s decisions for certain games you need certain players and tactically we might need something different, that’s what comes into play as well as performing.

“Anyone can say that Fitzy has been outstanding in the last few games, he’s a good player, providing goals to the team, assists and he’s earned his spot in the starting XI.”

Since arriving in Melbourne, Kamau feels has settled and said everything had lived up to his expectations so far.

He and City youngster Ruon Tongyik both came from the Reds with Kamau giving credit to United for blooding youngsters.

“It’s just about whether they give them that opportunity,” he said.

“I think Adelaide especially this season have been one of the clubs that have managed to give a lot of young players a chance. Jordan O’Doherty, Mark Ochieng and Riley McGree who’s now in the Socceroos.”

City squad at one of the cultural sites on the Birrarung William Walk

The City players completed the traditional Birrarung Willam Walk on Thursday, which highlights the significance of one of Melbourne’s most iconic areas to the people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land.

Kenyan-born Kamau spoke about the tour by Melbourne’s Federation Square and Birrarung Marr on the city's famous Yarra River.

“The whole squad were really involved in the tour and it was fascinating to see the Aboriginal art installations, artefacts and to learn about the meaning and connection behind this area to the Aboriginal people,” Kamau said.

“It is such a popular area of Melbourne and to gain a deeper understanding of how the landscape has changed over time, but remains an important part of Aboriginal history, was really fulfilling. We walk to AAMI for every home match so we have a greater appreciation of the area now.”
