Arriving as a free agent after the conclusion of his stint with Vipers SC, Waiswa becomes the Tax Collectors’ first mid-season addition, a clear signal of intent as the club eyes a stronger second half of the campaign.

For Waiswa, the move represents both familiarity and fresh challenge. He steps into a club widely respected for its structure and professionalism, carrying with him the mindset of a player shaped by competitive, trophy-driven environments. His message is simple: raise standards, push the team higher up the table, and help turn ambition into tangible success.

The midfielder’s journey has been anything but ordinary. From early spells in Sweden with Växjö United FC and Syrianska FC, to domestic dominance with KCCA FC and SuperSport United FC, Waiswa has consistently operated in demanding setups where results matter.

That experience is exactly what URA FC are banking on. Known for his calmness on the ball, tactical intelligence, and wide passing range, Waiswa offers versatility across attacking, central, and deeper midfield roles, a toolbox that should appeal greatly to head coach Hussein Mbalangu as he fine-tunes his options in the engine room.

Beyond attributes, Waiswa brings pedigree. A former FUFA Player of the Year, his honours list includes two StarTimes Uganda Premier League titles and an Uganda Cup, all secured during his time with Vipers SC.

Those achievements underline a career built around competing at the sharp end.

Now, with his future secured at URA FC until 2028, Waiswa’s focus shifts firmly to impact translating experience into leadership, belief, and performances that can help the Tax Collectors challenge for silverware once again.
