KCCA FC officially unveiled winger Umar Lutalo as their latest signing on the final day of the transfer window yesterday, securing his services from fellow Uganda Premier League side Kitara FC on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Lutalo, who previously won the Uganda Premier League title with SC Villa, was also a target for his former club this window but the move failed to materialize.
The versatile left-footed player who can operate as a left-back, left winger or attacking midfielder brings experience to KCCA FC having made 54 league appearances and scored 10 goals during his time at SC Villa.
A product of the renowned Aspire Academy, Lutalo has also represented Uganda at the U20 level with the Hippos and earned caps for the senior national team.
Abdallah Mubiru’s side struggled in the first half of the league campaign but currently sit fourth on the table with 24 points. The addition of Lutalo is expected to strengthen their squad as they push for a stronger second half performance in the title race.
