Career
[edit]Born in Nairobi, Gateri has played club football for Nairobi City Stars, ASD Cape Town, Bandari, Nakumatt, Ushuru, Tusker and Mount Kenya United.[1][2]
In September 2010, following elite scouting, Gateri went to Cape United Soccer School of excellence in Cape Town-South Africa and passed trials.[3] He delayed his move due to school exams but joined them later in June 2011.[4][5]
Part of the highlight of his football was back in April 2013 when, while part of ASD Academy, he went for a two-week trial at English Premier League side Sunderland.[6][7]
After four years at ASD Academy he returned home to join coastal side Bandari,[8] before spending time with Nakumatt, Ushuru, Tusker and Mount Kenya United.[9]
He was handed his international debut for Kenya in 2011.[1]
