Luwagga joins the side on a season long loan from Romanian outfit Politehnica Lasi.
The former Vipers Sports Club player joined Politehnica Lasi last season from Portuguese side Rio Ave will don shirt 21 at BATE. He had his first training with the side this morning.
At Politehnica Lasi, who finished sixth last term, Luwagga played 28 league games, finding the net three times and helping the team finish sixth in the league.
Luwagga has also previously played for Sporting Covilha, Leixoes and Fereinse all in Portugal.

This is exactly what I have been saying. A player shifts from Romania to Beralus?? Is this growth?? There is something inherently wrong with Ugandan players. They have become journey men. Faruku Miya is also going through the same predicament. Instead of basking in miragical news about our players getting new clubs, the Ugandan soccer fraternity ought to wake up and device means of putting this to an end.
