Soltilo Bright Stars FC forward Nelson Senkatuka continues to stamp himself as one of the greatest goal-scorers recent Uganda Premier League history has witnessed.

As he netted his fourth goal of the 2023/24 season in their 2-2 draw with Gadaffi FC on Thursday, Senkatuka made it 50 UPL goals for Bright Stars, the most of any player in the club's history.

Across stints with KCCA FC, Proline FC, and Bright Stars, the marksman has 65 UPL goals, the most of any player currently featuring in the league.

Meanwhile, Bright Stars sit 12th on the 16-team log with seven points in eight games.

In their next match, they will play host to troubled Arua Hill SC at the Kavumba Recreation Center next Thursday.
