“Many people will ask me why I came back to this palace,” he said before adding:
“You know l call it a palace because it’s number one in East Africa and moreover, we are chasing to be number one in Africa. I call this a come back because l was once here, left and now am back here.”
At the start of the 2018/19 season, he joined SC Villa before making a move to URA FC where he spent three campaigns.
He is the Kitende side’s fifth signing after Isa Mubiru, Marvin Joseph Youngman, Olivier Omadjondo Osomba and goalkeeper Alfred Macumu Mudekereza.
