Newly promoted sides show interest in signing Aheebwa

Two newly promoted StarTimes Uganda Premier League teams have shown interest in signing striker Brian Aheebwa.

Aheebwa is a free agent after his three-year contract with the 13-time Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC expired at the end of June.

Talks are ongoing between the player and KCCA to try and hand him a new short-term contract at Lugogo, but other teams are closely monitoring this situation.

Kitara FC and NEC FC, who gained promotion to the top flight ahead of the 2023/24 season, have already contacted the player, Pulse Sports reliably understands.

However, the player's preference is to first listen to the Lugogo-based outfit's proposal.

Should moving away from Lugogo become the only option, Kitara could have an edge over NEC in landing the forward.

Kitara is Aheebwa's home club, and it is now managed by Brian Ssenyondo, the 25-year-old's former coach during their time together at Mbarara City FC.
