When his two-year tenure at Kyetume Football Club expires come August 2020, towering defender Benon Tahomera has publicly opened the lid to venture elsewhere.
The 23-year-old defender who joined “The Slaughters” in 2017 yearns for greener pastures having played his part at the Mukono based club in the second division and top-flight season.
Benon Tahomera will not renew his contract with Kyetume Football Club when his contract expires in August 2020.

Tahomera joined Kyetume from Eastern region club Malaba Youth Development Association (MYDA) at the start of the 2017/18 season and signed a two-year deal ending in August 2020.
He was part of the Kyetume team that earned promotion from the FUFA Big League to the Uganda Premier League during the 2018/19 season.
Consequently, he was part of the core pillars during the debut season in the Uganda Premier League.
Since 2017, he featured in 44 matches at Kyetume scoring 5 goals, assisting 10 times with 8 cautions.
Comfortable as a right-back and central defender, Tahomera has surpassed the bare minimum with good dead ball execution from all ranges, perfect tackling, timely clearances, and good heading skills.
In 2019, he was summoned for the national team by Uganda Cranes head coach Johnathan McKinstry in preparation for the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup hosted in Kampala.
Unfortunately, he did not make the final 20 man squad that won the championship on home soil.
During the same year, he guided Bukedi Province to a silver medal in the FUFA Drum tournament, falling to Acholi Province 5-4 in post-match penalties after normal time had ended goal-less at the New Akii Bua stadium, Lira.
Kawowo Sports has established that giants KCCA and Express FC have openly expressed interest in acquiring the services of the player.
Whichever destination this defender heads to, the end will surely justify the means given his dedication and quality of service he is bound to provide.
