The 28-year-old shot-stopper had an impressive campaign at Maroons which saw him pick up 13 clean sheets in 23 games and concede only 11 as he guided his side to a sixth-place finish. He will compete against two other goalkeepers – Adolphe Hakizimana whose contract will expire in January 2024 and Hategekimana Bonheur, who has one year remaining on his contract.
Rayon Sports are the reigning champions of the Peace Cup, the second most prestigious domestic title in Rwanda. They won the title after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over arch-rivals APR FC in the final.
