KAMPALA – Express FC have continued their recruitment spree, completing a 13th off-season signing.
Denis Mugerwa is the latest addition to the Red Eagles as they continue preparations for the 2020/21 Uganda Premier League season.
The right-back joins from Tooro United FC and signed a two-year deal.
During his unveiling, Mugerwa expressed his delight to be joining a ‘big’ club.
“I am glad to finally join this big club. He noted.
“As a defender, i know it is important that me and my colleagues all work as a unit to get results.”
