Kitara sign FUFA Big League record-scorer

Striker Denis Omedi will make his grand debut in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League next season after signing for Kitara FC.

The club unveiled the 2022/23 FUFA Big League top scorer on Sunday night on a two-year contract that will keep him until 2025.

Omedi won the golden boot last season after emerging joint-top scorer with 22 goals for Booma FC.

“Welcome the one and only best marksman,” Kitara made the announcement.

“Denis Omedi is a Royal through & through until 2025 and was officially unveiled by club CEO Joshua Atugonza,” the club revealed the details.

The new development ends speculations over the 27-year-old’s future after reports had linked him to Maroons FC.

Omedi is a practising nurse working with the Uganda Prisons Services.

He was recently promoted to the rank of a lance corporal alongside 27 other players from Maroons and She-Maroons.

He has previously played for Sporting United, Amuka Bright Stars and Water in the second division.
