While he played just five times in the entirety of the 2022/2023 Uganda Premier League season, he had featured in each of the games this campaign before suffering a hamstring injury as Vipers beat Kitara FC 2-1 in December.
Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC have, at long last, confirmed the departure of fast-paced winger Abdu Lumala.
The Uganda Cranes attacker leaves the Venoms after one and a half seasons at Kitende, having joined towards the start of the 2022/23 campaign.
"Vipers Sports Club can confirm that midfielder Abdu Lumala has left the club by mutual consent," the club announced on their website.

Reports: Travis Mutyaba jets to Egypt ahead of move to Zamalek
It should be noted that last year, FUFA indicated that Mutyaba was a Dinamo Tbilisi player, despite the club never announcing his arrival.
"The 26-year-old enjoyed two seasons with the Venoms after arriving as a free agent in July 2022, and leaves to pursue an opportunity elsewhere."
