Rwandan Premier League side APR FC have beefed up their squad with the signing of striker Danny Ndikumana from Burundian topflight side Rukinzo FC on a two-year deal.

Ndikumana attracted APR’s attention following his superb performance last season especially during his attacking masterclass during the 2023 East and Central African Police Games (EAPCCO) Games held in Rwanda. According to Times Sport, the army side offered Ndikumana a sign-on fee in excess of Rwf30.5 million and a monthly salary of Rwf1,000,000.

Ndikumana is a big plus to the league champions who are in an advanced squad overhaul since they opened doors for foreign players to bring the decade-long ‘homegrown players only’ policy to an end.

APR have already signed Burundian star Ismail Pitchou Nshimirimana and Ugandan midfielder Taddeo Lwanga on two-year deals and are still being linked with the services of Nigerian Victor Mbaoma, Apam Assongwe, Congolese goalkeeper Pavelh Ndzila of Etoile du Congo and Cameroonian defender Ngweni Denis Ndasi.

APR are hoping to regain its status on the continental scene following mediocre showing since they decided against using foreign players in 2012. In ten years, the military side won seven league titles and two peace cups. The club has, however, sought otherwise after struggling to compete favorably in continental football due to the limited talent pool.
