Jamus FC are making noise, once flying under the radar, the South Sudan Premier League champions are now being talked about as the regionโ€™s next big spenders.

South Sudan international Rashid Okocha has joined the club on a two-year deal from Ugandaโ€™s NEC FC. A solid left-back and regular for the Bright Stars, Okochaโ€™s arrival is just the latest in a growing list of eye-catching signings as Jamus gear up for their first-ever CAF Champions League appearance.

This isnโ€™t the Jamus of old. After going unbeaten last season and finishing with 68 points in 21 matches, the Juba-based side is no longer content with just local dominance; they want to compete on the continent.

And theyโ€™re backing it up with action. Okocha joins a squad that has been significantly strengthened in recent weeks

  • William Gama from Onduparaka SC
  • Felix Obama from KCCA Soccer Academy
  • Hassan Wasswa Dazo from Kator FC
  • Kevin Muhire, former Rayon Sports captain
  • Jaffar Kerepi, Shabani Kagayo, Josue Manuma, Fichal Ouro Guezere, Houessi Hariston Hessou, Hergy Samoni, Madut Chol and Martin Otwao

And they may not be done yet. Sources say theyโ€™re chasing Ugandan striker Ivan Ahimbisibwe, one of the regionโ€™s most consistent goal scorers.

Landing him would send an even louder message. With every new signing, Jamus are changing the conversation around South Sudanese football and offering a chance to continental football to some Ugandan players.
