New Kitara FC signing Denis Omedi is talking big ahead of the start of the Startimes Uganda Premier League.

Having joined the newly-promoted side in July, Omedi has set his eyes on becoming the Startimes Uganda Premier League top scorer.

“My aim is to work harder, win games with my team and also become the leading scorer in the league this season,” Omedi told the Kitara FC media in an interview.

“I can’t wait to get started. Well, I know it won’t be that easy, but to be the best, you must test yourself with the best, and, I’m set,” he added.

“The opponents and teams at this level may vary in terms of style of play, but quality wise, we are almost at the same level.”

Omedi signed a two-year contract with Kitara, after crossing from Masindi-based outfit Booma FC.

He will debut in the top flight after scoring a record 22 goals that won him the 2022/23 FUFA Big League Golden Boot.

Kitara will open their UPL season in an away clash with record champions SC Villa at Wankulukuku Stadium.

Denis Omedi is already one of the fans’ favourites and will wear Shirt 24 in the new season.

Brian Aheebwa, Livin Kabon, Shafique Magogo, Benjamin Nyakojo, Solomon Okwalinga, Frank ‘Zaga’ Tumwesigye and Jude Semugabi are some of Kitara’s top recruits ahead of the new season.

And with the experience of Paul Mucureezi, Kitara will be hoping to make some noise and stay in the top division.
