“I am here to win trophies because Express is a big team. I will work hard to improve my abilities and become a better defender to achieve more in the future,” he bravery said.
The hardworking defender also opened up on the importance of playing Futsal before joining big clubs.
“Futsal has helped me to think and decide fast and with doing it for the past four years with Park FC, I have managed to develop my ablities in situations like 1V1 and 1V2 and I’m now ready for the Uganda Premier League.”
Many Ugandan top players have played Futsal like former Uganda Cranes and KCCA FC playmaker Sulaiman Mutyaba, Saidi Mayanja (KCCA FC), Ivan Irinimbabazi (Pierikos, Greece), and Travis Mutyaba (Zamalek, Egypt) among others.
