How much Rayon Sports will pocket in Ojera's deal

Rwandan outfit Rayon Sports announced the departure of Ugandan Joachim Ojera, whose move to Egyptian side New Al Mokawloon Al Arab SC is only pending the latter's confirmation.

Reports in Rwanda suggest that the Adorable cashed in $ 20,000 for the ex-URA FC player in the Uganda Premier League.

It is over UGX 76 million when converted into Ugandan Shillings, whereas it is 25 million in Rwandan francs.

Ojera joined the Nyanza-based club on a short loan from URA in January 2023, but later, the Tax Collectors agreed to sell the player permanently in August of the same year.

He had only served a year in his two-year contract before his exit to link up with his fellow countryman Joseph Ochaya at Al Mokawloon.

The winger had become an integral part of the 'Gukindiro' squad, leaving Yamen Zelfani's charges in the fourth position on the 16-team log with 30 points after 17 outings.

However, a couple of Ugandan players have struggled in North Africa, especially in Egypt, with Uganda Cranes and SC Villa defender Gavin Kizito the most recent to return home after a failed stint at Al-Ittihad.

Ojera hopes to defy the odds, and the presence of Ochaya could play a role in his future at the club.

He is currently not in the Uganda Cranes setup, but hopefully, his move to Egypt will turn out well for him to come back into the fold.
