Okwi expressed the urge and willingness to re-join Soana after a frustrating first round at Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) football club.

Okwi then left Soana for Kenya outfit Sofapaka before he returned home to join Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).
Limited playing time at the tax collectors’ side has definitely forced the center forward cum midfielder to seek his release despite a year and a half time span left on his employment contract.
Soana is also in close negotiations with another center forward Petit Wanok and a left attacker, Bruno Sserunkuma ahead of the January 31st 2018 secondary transfer window.
Alex Isabirye’s coached side progressed to the round of 32 in the FUFA Uganda Cup after a convincing 3-0 away victory to Ntoda in Ntungamo on Sunday.
