Another Ugandan player heads to America

The number of Ugandan players recently leaving the Uganda Premier League to play football in the United States keeps expanding.

SC Villa attacking midfielder Goffin Oyirwoth is the latest, joining Bethel University, Minnesota, where he will not only play football but also further his studies, according to Sports Nation.

He joins the likes of Steven Sserwadda, Frank Ssebufu, Ibrahim Kasule, Bobosi Byaruhanga among others, who have all secured moves in the recent past.

His undoubted ability has had him trade with Villa for over three years, having joined them at the start of the 2020/21 campaign.

His Villa stint was after his stay with the lowly Katwe United under the ownership of Makindye East Legislator, Allan Ssewanyana.

Oyirwoth also previously traded with seven-time Uganda Premier League champions, Express FC.
