Ugandan Premiership side KCCA FC capture speedster Rogers Mugisha

“Signing for KCCA FC is a dream come true. This is one of the biggest clubs in the country. I am ready to give my all for the badge. I know the expectations are high, but I am confident in my abilities and look forward to contributing to the team’s success.”

Coach’s Thoughts
KCCA FC co-Head Coach Brian Ssenyondo welcomed the winger, emphasizing how well he suits the club’s attacking approach.

“We are happy to have Rogers on board. He is a player we have been monitoring for a while. His speed and directness on the wing will add a new dimension to our attack. He fits perfectly with our philosophy of playing an exciting, attacking brand of football. We believe he has the potential to become a key player for us.”

Mugisha becomes the fifth notable addition for the Cityzens in the current transfer window, following Ivan Ahimbisibwe, Herbert Achayi, Lazaro Muhindo, and Enock Walusimbi.
