The shot-stopper had an impressive campaign at Maroons which saw him pick up 13 clean sheets in 23 games and conceding only 11 as he guided his side to a sixth-place finish.

Simon Tamale, the best goalkeeper of the just concluded StarTimes Uganda Premier League season- is up for grabs to the highest bidder in Uganda and abroad.

The shot-stopper had an impressive campaign at Maroons which saw him pick up 13 clean sheets in 23 games and conceding only 11 as he guided his side to a sixth-place finish.

Tamale's contract at the Luzira-based side expires soon, and he is open to any opportunities available, especially from the top sides from last season and abroad.

"Grateful that I put in an outstanding performance which was all down to hard work, teamwork and belief in myself," Tamale told Pulse Sports.

"I am now a free agent after my Maroons contract ended; I am open to any available offers here and abroad."

"Maroons are also in consideration if they offer me an improved contract," added the former Bright Stars shotstopper.

Tamale was voted the best footballer for May at the Real Stars Awards on Tuesday; he was also nominated in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League Player of the Month for the same month.

KCCA FC's Mato Rogers and Busoga United's Mugwa Bashamu are the other nominees for the May award, with the winner set to be announced on Thursday.

Tamale picked up four clean sheets in as many games in May, along with three Pilsner Man of the Match awards.
