He was deservedly voted the best midfielder of the recently completed super league season. The dribbling maestro made an amazing 15 assists and scored 9 goals from midfield for Bunamwaya SC.
This propelled the club to finish runners up on boththe bell Uganda cup and league fronts. To many who followed the league, he even deserved to be named the “Most valuable Player” (MVP) but lost to top scorer Robert
Ssentongo in the category.
Currently in Portugal where he impressed on trials at second division side Leixieos FC, the midfielder is one player who makes playing football look easy. He has the ability to dribble past a forest of legs making you think that the ball is tied on his bootlaces. He is quick and uses both feet with the ability to change a tightly contested game with in a flash of a second.

Best player played with: My former team mate at Bunamwaya SC Owen Kasule. I like his actions on the ball. His game reading and range of passing is up there with the best.

My dream: My biggest dream which am working to achieve at the moment is play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
