Kasumba becomes the club’s 4th signing of the up coming season after they had signed Jinja Municipal Council play maker, Ambrose Kirya, Bul F.C temperamental but skilled midfielder, Robert Achema and Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) left winger, James Kasibante.
Kasumba has been part of the recent Uganda U-23 team that played Rwanda home and away but missed active involvement in both leg after a sprained hand.
He finished with 14 goals in the league, one short of lead striker, Robert Ssentongo who won the golden boot accolade for the 2014/15 season of the Uganda Premier league.
