Plascon powered Vipers SC have finally ended weeks of speculation by confirming the signing of Uganda Cranes midfielder Joel Sserunjogi from Uganda Premier League rivals KCCA FC on a three year contract.
The 24 year old joins the reigning champions after the expiry of his contract at Lugogo, becoming one of the biggest signings of the 2026/27 transfer window and an early statement of intent from the Kitende club.
Sserunjogi arrives with a reputation as one of the league’s most complete midfielders. His relentless work rate, composure on the ball and ability to control games have made him a standout performer over the last three seasons.
His signing is another major boost for new head coach Denis Lavagne, who is shaping a squad capable of defending the Uganda Premier League title, challenging for the Uganda Cup and making a stronger impression in the CAF Champions League.

Sserunjogi leaves KCCA after more than 100 appearances, during which he established himself as one of the club’s most reliable players. His calmness in possession, accurate passing and tactical discipline made him a key figure in the midfield and earned him widespread admiration across the league.
His rise has been steady. He developed through Mulusa Academy before progressing to St. Julian Secondary School and Kajjansi United, where his talent continued to blossom.
He later caught the eye in the Buganda Masaza Cup, representing Buddu before playing a leading role in Busiro’s historic first Masaza Cup triumph in 2022. Those performances paved the way for his move to KCCA in 2023.
His consistent displays at club level also opened the door to the national team. Since making his Uganda Cranes debut in 2024, Sserunjogi has earned nine senior international caps and established himself as one of the country’s brightest midfield prospects.
Now, he begins a new chapter at Kitende, where expectations will be high. With Vipers strengthening for another title defence and continental football, the club believes Sserunjogi has the quality and experience to become the heartbeat of its midfield.
