SC Villa have officially confirmed the signing of Fufa Big League top scorer Isaac Gumperom on a four-year contract from Young Elephants.
The striker, who managed 17 goals in the second-tier last season becomes the Jogoos’ second acquisition after midfielder John Asiimwe who signed from Express earlier.
Gumperom is highly rated and is a direct replacement to Charles Lwanga who moved to rivals KCCA after he refused a new contract offer. Villa also confirmed extending Denis Ojara contract for the next three years.
The defender cum striker joined the Blues from Onduparaka three years ago but has never featured for the club as he suffered injury in a pre-season Super 8 tournament against Maroons days after he was signed and had to undergo surgery.
Elsewhere, URA made Muhammad Kyeyune their first official signing under new coach Jimmy Kintu.
The left footed winger joins the tax collectors from Entebbe UPPC where he featured in over 29 matches most as a substitute.
Kyeyune committed to staying at URA for the next three years and couldn’t hide his excitement.
“I am very happy and grateful to join URA FC. It is a dream come true to be part of this great club, and I am ready to work hard, give my best every day and help the team achieve its goals. Whenever I am given an opportunity, I want to prove myself on the pitch and show what I can bring to the team,” Kyeyune said.
In the other confirmed move, newly promoted side Ntugasaze unveiled former Mbarara City prodigy Nathaniel Atamba.
He joins Ssengoba Abubaker and Tevin Kyeyune on the list of new arrivals at the club.
