UPDF beats Police to Ugandan star

The army side however, needed to fend off opposition from FUFA Big League side Police FC who were also massive suitors.

Eseru, who has joined UPDF from the relegated Blacks Power Football Club, has penned down a one-year contract.

It's his second stint at the Bombo based outfit after his initial spell came to an end in 2021, before he joined Arua Hill SC.

Eseru finds familiar faces at the club including Yusuf Wasswa Yusuf, Bright Joseph Vuni as well as Arafat Kakonge.

Anticipating a huge season, UPDF have already signed Derrick Kaija, Edward Kawooya, Christopher Tebandeke, Henry Tenywa, Shugai Kalisa and Bashir Kabuye Bashir.

In their first match of the season, UPDF play host to URA FC at the Bombo Military Barracks Ground on Sunday.
