Uganda Premier League newbies Kitara FC have parted ways with 16 players as the club prepares for a fresh dawn.
The aforementioned developments are official as they were confirmed on Saturday via the club’s social media platforms.
The most notable and surprising face among the released is midfielder Moses Sseruyide, whose contract apparently ended in June.
He played and impressed in 29 of the 30 games last season and was a pillar in Kitara’s run to winning the FUFA Big League title, earning them entry to the topflight.
The other notable faces, Farouk Katongole and Godfrey Lwesibawa, will also look for new adventures following the overhaul.
Lwesibawa, particularly, is a troubled man, as he was recently suspended by FUFA for alleged match-fixing.
