StarTimes Uganda Premier League giant SC Villa are reportedly interested in the services of Onduparaka FC left-back Rashid Okocha.

The 16-time-league champions are hopeful of securing the signature of the experienced player with the opportunity to upgrade to top-flight football ahead of the 2023/24 season.

Okocha is reportedly running out of contract at Onduparaka FC and will be a free agent before the 2023/24 season.

The Jogoos will have to fend off competition from his employers, Onduparaka Fc, who are also reportedly luring him to extend his stay at the club.

Other than Onduparaka FC, his former coach Dudu Bosco, the assistant to Hussein Mbalangu also reportedly luring him to join NEC FC.

Okocha has been faithful to the Caterpillars, having spent the last four seasons at the club.

A mainstay in the squad since 2019, he featured 24 times last season as they suffered relegation.

The Jogoos recently signed versatile defender Denis Ojara from the West Nile side. It waits to be seen whether Okocha will join his former teammate.
