Sentamu is a hugely popular figure among the fans, the dressing room and the club's top administration.

In a bid to keep their most important players, Vipers SC is in the final moments of renewing the contract for prolific marksman, Yunus Sentamu.

The Uganda Premier League champions intend to make a stronger mark in the 2023/24 CAF Champions League than last season, and thus netting their star players to fresher and heathier contracts.

The 28 year-old, who made a return to Kitende in January 2021, is in the final stages of his current contract and will have it renewed for a further two years, according to reports.

Sentamu is a hugely popular figure among the fans, the dressing room and the club's top administration.

He has been a hit since his return over two and a half seasons ago, as he has won two Uganda Premier League and just as many Uganda Cups.

Sentamu was also a huge pillar as the Venoms clinched a first ever spot in the CAF Champions League group stages.

The star has featured in 63 Uganda Premier League matches since making a return to Kitende, scoring 38 goals.

The 38-goal tally can be added to the 11 strikes he has managed in the Uganda Cup in the past two and a half seasons, making it 49.

Last season in the league, he scored eight goals in 16 matches, as he was hugely limited by numerous injury setbacks.

Previously, he has previously played for DRC's AS Vita, Tunisia's CS Sfaxien, Finland's IIves and Albanian outfit KF Tirana.
