Isabirye has been unattached to any club since parting ways with Express Football Club.

The former Uganda Cranes international forward makes a return to URA where he once worked in the yester-years.

He has also served at BUL, Entebbe, Nyamityobora, Vipers and lately Express with a brief spell in Somalia.

Isabirye won the league with URA (2010-2011) as well as Vipers (2022-2023) and the Stanbic Uganda Cup with URA (2012) and BUL in 2022.

We are optimistic that Isabirye’s return will revive our glory days, with his vast experience and previous success with the team being seen as key assets. His immediate challenge will be preparing the squad for the grand opening of the newly refurbished Nakivubo War memorial Stadium where we last won our league title as home ground.
