The reigning Rwanda volleyball national champions, Gisagara have added Ugandan powerful right attacker Bob Ivan Ongom of Sport-S Volleyball club to their star studded legion.
Ongom, a towering well built player was one of the two other foreign based players recruited.
The other is Kenya’s center Nicolas Matui from Water Volleyball Club.
The duo were signed on a two-year employment contract.
Gisagara VC head coach Fidele Nyirimana confirmed the two signings who are expected to join their teammates for training in the first week of next month ahead of the men’s league which is set to start on January 13.
Nyirimana, as quoted by New Times noted;
We have signed these players in a bid to boost the strength of the squad.
They are good players and I hope they will be of great value to us in the upcoming busy competitive season
