Experienced Ugandan utility player Denis Iguma is on the verge of completing a move to Kenyan Premier League side Tusker FC.
Iguma who joined Uganda Premier League outfit Police FC in August 2024 on a two-year contract, featured in several matches during the first round of the season but is now eyeing a new challenge across the border.
Iguma has reportedly been training with Tusker FC in Kenya for the past few weeks and is expected to finalize the move when the Kenyan mid-season transfer window opens this Thursday, January 30.
Tusker FC, currently joint leaders of the Kenya Premier League with 36 points from 18 games, are locked in a tight title race with Gor Mahia. The club is determined to end Gor Mahia’s dominance this season and is home to Ugandan players including George Kaddu, Boban Zirintusa, John Byamukama and Deogratius Ojok.
Iguma brings a wealth of experience, having previously played for clubs like SC Villa (2009–2011), Sports Club Victoria University (2011–2014), and KCCA FC in Uganda. He also had stints abroad with Al Ahed and Al Nabcheet in Lebanon as well as Kazma in Kuwait. Internationally, Iguma has been a key figure for the Uganda Cranes, representing the team in major tournaments like CHAN 2014 and 2021 as well as the 2017 AFCON in Gabon.
In the Uganda Premier League, NEC FC is on the verge of officially unveiling winger Ibrahim Kasinde as their second signing of the January transfer window, following the acquisition of Alpha Thierry Ssali from Express FC.
Kasinde is expected to sign a one-year contract after resolving pending issues that delayed his move.
He has been training with NEC FC since September 2024, preparing for a return to action after being sidelined for a season and a half.
His last competitive appearance came during the 2022/23 season with Soltilo Bright Stars, where he spent three seasons, scoring seven league goals and providing numerous assists.
Kasinde brings urgency and creativity to NEC’s right-hand side of the attack, joining a department that already features Paul Mucureezi and James Jarieko.
A former Uganda Hippos player, Kasinde represented the nation during the U20 AFCON Qualifiers in Sudan in 2022.
The winger’s football journey includes stints with Masaka City, Kaliisizo KEM, Kampala University Masaka, and Masaza Cup powerhouses Ssingo, Gomba, and Busujju.
If unveiled, Kasinde will follow the recent signing of Alpha Thierry Ssali, who joined NEC FC on a two-year deal. Ssali’s arrival was announced on Sunday at the club’s headquarters in Lugolobi.
