Fahad Bayo is back in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League after signing a two-year contract with NEC ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The 28-year-old striker returns to the Uganda Premier League after several years playing abroad.
“NEC FC is delighted to announce the signing of Uganda Cranes forward Fahad Bayo, who has joined the Diehards on a two-year contract,” the club confirmed.
The Ugandan international has previously played for Proline and Vipers in the domestic league before he earned a move abroad in January 2018, when he joined Zambian side Buildcon FC. He subsequently returned to Uganda with Vipers SC, where he made 23 appearances and scored 12 goals during the 2019/20 season.
Bayo’s performances earned him a move to Israel, where he signed for F.C. Ashdod in July 2020. He went on to feature for several clubs abroad, including Bnei Sakhnin in Israel, MFK Vyškov in the Czech Republic and Wolwalo Adigrat in Ethiopia.
Bayo becomes NEC FC’s third signing of the transfer window following the arrivals of Enock Tumwesigye and Enrique Lubwama.
