He was previously playing for the Mt Hagen Eagles for two years and has represented the PNG Kumuls this year.

“I really didn’t think I would be selected; I didn’t give my best in the under 23 but they watched me played so Marum called to give me a chance. I am very excited, it’s a dream come true for me,” an excited Kawage told PNG media recently.
