FOOTBALL Newly promoted sides show interest in signing Aheebwa
Kitara is Aheebwa's home club, and it is now managed by Brian Ssenyondo, the 25-year-old's former coach during their time together at Mbarara City FC.
Ssenyondo is pushing hard to take the player to the Hoima-based club and is looking forward to rebuilding his career after a difficult time at Lugogo.
The forward was limited to playing time and injuries, and he is now a free agent following the expiry of his contract with 13-time Uganda Premier League champions.
Kigali provides a better monetary offer to the player than Kitara, but the latter could provide a better platform for Aheebwa to revive his career.
Another newly promoted UPL team NEC FC is understood to have been interested in the player at one point, but at this stage, they have backed off, leaving Kitara and Kigali in the race for his signature.
