He spent the past two seasons at neighbours Wakiso where he was a major hit, especially last season. Matsiko was named in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) team of the season at the Pilsner UPL Awards, asserting his name as one of the finest players in his position in the country.
He will be expected to vie for a starting berth with Ashraf Mandela, who won both the league and the Uganda Cup with the Venoms last season and is also a former player at Kigezi Homeboyz, captaining them till 2021, before joining Wakiso.
