The former Most Valuable Player in the league has played for KCCA FC, St.George(Ethiopia), Azam FC(Tanzania) and Indian side Fulakam FC but was out of action for over two years due to an injury that has since healed.
He has in the past trained with Lugogo based Kasasiro boys in a bid to gain his previous form and it is expected he is eying a place in coach Sebastien Desabre’s squad for the Afcon finals later this year where the Cranes will take part.
