Former KCCA FC and Uganda Cranes playmaker Allan Okello has completed his move to the Uganda Premier League reigning champions Vipers SC.
Okello has penned down a three-year employment contract to join the Venoms and will don the shirt number 8 jersey.
This comes after the player terminated his contract with Paradou AC this month to become a free agent.
The 23-year-old had joined Paradou AC football club in 2020 on a long-term four-year contract from KCCA FC, but spent last season on loan at Lugogo.
Last season, Okello netted 5 goals and registered 8 assists in the Uganda Premier League at KCCA FC.
Vipers SC fans will have to wait for Okello’s debut for the Kitende-based club since the player will first undergo treatment on a knee injury.
After signing for the Venoms, Okello expressed his happiness for joining the team.
