CKI Pool Club has signed two Skin Samona big guns, Musa Ssekiriba and Sula Matovu in a bid for the 2016 Senior Pool League Season.
Pool Association of Uganda Seed four, also the reigning Christmas Cup champion and Easter Cup finalist Matovu, ended his five year spell at the country’s power house Skin Samona after agreeing a shocking transfer deal to join pharmaceutical dealers CKI Pool Club.
Matovu was accompanied by his Kibanga teammate and seed Nine Musa Ssekiriba.
Reasons that must have pushed the two out of Wakaliga’s based club are hidden by both of them but seems they are almost the same.
Matovu is quoted;
Today we have decided to match out of Samona. We appreciate whatever our boss has done in the last five years but we have to continue with the journey. I have won everything with Skin Samona and its time to show my ability some where else and am sure I will reach and get my targets.
Ssekiriba admitted having a tough time at Skin Samona and had to move on;
It has been a difficult period at Samona but enough is enough. I promised to walk away at the end of last season and this is a promise fulfilled. Let us try our luck here.
Both Matovu and Sskiriba have gone on a free transfer and have signed a one year contract each with their new club with a fee of 1.2 million each.
Skin Samona is now remaining with a limited squad of Amos Ndyagumanawe, Fahad SSewankambo, Dan Mubiira, Bukenya Usman (Captain) and Kayanja Robert.
Its not clear of who its possible replacement could be. However, rumour point at scrap buyers young talents Joseph Kasozi and Ivan Kanyesije as Skinsamona’s targets.
Bobby Tamale, who is director of CKI Pharmaceuticals noted;
I’m really very happy having signed the best players in the country and my aim is to at least compete for this year’s Senior Pool League and aiming to promote these players’ talents and change their lives through pool.
Other January transfer speculations are Vicky Namuyanja who could also join CKI from Skin Samona, Mubiiru Dan who could also vacate Skin Samona to join club Icon Nansaana, Ssetumba Godfrey from Betway is a hot cake for club Icon Nansaana and Hot Pool-Ntinda.
Jacinta Kajuubi is also needed by Hotpool, Lydia Ayebazibwe is most likely to return to Capital Night from CKI.
