Without necessarily revealing the duration of the contract, Lumala took to snapchat to celebrate completing a move to Slaven Belupo.

Months after exiting Vipers SC in the Uganda Premier League, winger Abdu Lumala has joined Croatian side NK Slaven Belupo Koprivnica.

Lumala left the country cursing the league with regrets about why he had made a return on home soil.

At the time of his departure, he had only  spent one and a half seasons in Uganda as he won both the Uganda Premier League and the Uganda Cup last campaign with Vipers.

Without necessarily revealing the duration of the contract, Lumala took to snapchat to celebrate completing a move to Slaven Belupo.

"Let's kick some ball again. Its finally done, thank you God," Lumala posted with logo of Slaven Belupo Koprivnica.
