Toha had been the Caterpillars captain since the departure of Muhammad Shaban.

He boosts the back-line at the Kitende based club that also has Halid Lwaliwa, Livingstone Mulondo, Henry Katongole and youngster Jacob Okao.

Another defender Geofrey Wasswa is on a recovery path from a knee injury which will take some time.

The club’s pre-season training has already kicked off at their St Mary’s Stadium fortress.
