Kizito can play in the centre and on the right side of defence and left SC Villa last year for a spell in Egypt.

Former SC Villa captain Gavin Kizito is back at the club after a stint at Egyptian side Al-Ittihad Club of Alexandria.

The defender hinted at the move with a cheeky social media post on Thursday morning, but Pulse Sports now understands that an agreement has been reached by the two parties to have the player back.

"Clearly, we've got some unfinished business Mr. Twagala Silverware!" SC Villa responded to Kizito's post.

The defender had his contract terminated last month by his Egyptian side Al Ittihad Alexandria.

Kizito can play in the centre and on the right side of defence and left SC Villa last year for a spell in Egypt.

But injuries hampered his progress in Egypt, and he only managed to play just three appearances.

Kizito captained the Uganda Hippos to the AFCON U20 final before they lost to Ghana.

He has been left out of the Uganda Cranes squad to face Niger in the crucial Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers in Morocco next Thursday.

SC Villa have lost key players from the team that finished third in last season's Startimes Uganda Premier League.

Sheif Batte Frank Muna Kalule, Martin Elungat, Pistis Barenge, Fred Agandu, Charles Bbaale, Gift Fred and Hassan Musana are some of the other players to have left the Jogoos.
