Club chairman Simon Dubajic was equally delighted after sealing the deal. “This is another very positive step by the club. Kizito is a big player in Uganda.

Victoria University manager Ivan Zoric told Kawowo sports that the signing of Kizito will be great after letting Allan Katerega join Kenyan giants Tusker FC at the beginning of this primary transfer window.
“He is a great player and we expect him to fill the void left by Allan Katerega who crossed to Tusker FC. Let’s talk less though and wait for action to begin”, he said.
Kizito becomes the latest player to arrive at the club after Ibrahim Saddam Juma, Manko Kawesa, Ali Kimera, Martin Mpuuga, George Abege and Charles Tibingana.
