Ojara joined Dasan Stajanovic‘s charges from Onduparaka FC and scored the winning goal against Maroons FC on his debut.
Injuries, especially ACL tears have distorted footballers world over, with talents like Sadam Juma, Steven Bengo, Jackson Nunda, John Revita among others having to deal with the plague for big parts of their careers.

Ojara will be hoping his surgery is as successful as Isma Mugulusi‘s, as the latter, who had to sit for close to two years over the same, is currently active and a key Uganda Cranes player.
