Pulse Sports can confirm that the shot-stopper has decided to end his stay with the tax collectors after running down his contract as he considers several options.

Uganda Cranes goalkeeper Nafian Alionz will wear another club jersey for the first time this coming season after he ended his seven-year stint with URA FC.

Pulse Sports can confirm that the shot-stopper has decided to end his stay with the tax collectors after running down his contract as he considers several options.

“Nafian believes he needs a new challenge after spending seven seasons at URA FC are enough so he won’t renew his contract,” a source that preferred anonymity confirmed to Pulse Sports.

“He is currently weighing the many available options, and soon, his decision will be known.”

The 27-year-old has been linked with several top sides starting with KCCA FC, Tanzanian giants Simba SC, Ethiopian champions St. George and South Africa’s Supersport United.

Alionz joined URA FC in 2016 from Adjumani Town Council while studying at University, making over 50 appearances for the four-time league champions.

The West-Nile born goal minder might have yet to win any silverware during his seven-year stay with the tax collectors.

Still, he had an impressive performance last season, picking up 12 clean sheets in as many games as URA FC finished fifth.

Sam Timbe’s charges, who last won the league in the 2010/11 season, will hope Alionz’s replacement in Denis Otim helps them end the club’s 13-year trophy drought next season.
