We have agreed to renew with Fred Akiiki Ategeka. Being one of the promising talents, we see him as a good addition to our current squad we are building. He is so composed and fine at game reading. He is such a player who can start play from behind.

Ategeka is currently employed at Buganda Regional League side Kampala University Football Club and was part of the Kooki Ssaza team last season.
He joins striker Benjamin Ssemango, holding midfielder Shamir Kimwero and Latif Biira, another central defender.
I want to work together with the teammates and the technical team as we target lifting the title in 2020
