URA FC will start a new life after their former head coach, Sam Timbe, passed on last month, with David Obua touted to be in the pipeline to replace him.

The team is currently under the tutorship of assistant coach Fred Muhumuza.

They lost a number of senior players, including their long-serving goalkeeper and captain, Nafian Alionzi, but in Rogers Omedwa and Denis Otim, they have quality replacements.

However, the biggest news in the transfer window is the return of their former custodian, James Alitho

Their defender Hudu Mikyi has been named captain for the season, replacing Alionzi
