Michael Kagiri celebrates after saving a penalty

No sooner had goalkeeper Michael Kagiri put pen to paper at Onduparaka Football Club, than he expressed the willingness to serve and favorably compete.

Kagiri joined as a free agent after a brief spell at Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) where he had joined in January 2020 following a great display during Kajjansi United’s shock victory over Vipers in the Uganda Cup.

The well built goalkeeper has since confessed that he is more than willing for the best display.

“I am happy to join Onduparaka Football Club. I will compete well and ready to serve every time I will be given the opportunity to” Kagiri stated.

Kagiri has formerly played at St. Julian and Kitende S.S, KB Lions, AS Newtil (Democratic Republic of Congo), Busiro, Buweekula, Lweza and lately Uganda Revenue Authority Football Club.

At Onduparaka, a West Nile based top flight club, he will vie for the number one slot with the likes of Austin Atiino Opoka and Stephen Ogiramoi.

Kagiri is envisaged as the direct replacement for Yusuf Wasswa who has since left for newly promoted Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).
