Tusker FC crosses the border for two new signings

It is full house at Tusker FC after the Ruaraka-based club announced the signing of two new Ugandan players on Wednesday.

Midfielder, Boban Zirintusa joins from Tanzania’s  Biashara FC while left-back George Kaddu crosses the border from Ugandan side Wakiso Giants.

The Ugandan imports have inked a one-year deal each, with an option of a one-year renewal.

The brewers are also set to add former Rainbow FC captain Ryan Ogam to their books, with the midfielder training with them, after ditching Elite Falcons FC of Dubai.

The trio brings the tally of  Tusker's new signings to nine,  having brought on board Dennis Wanjala, Erick Balecho, Jacob Onyango, Joseph Ochuka, Thomas Omole and Alex Onchwari.

New Tusker head coach Charles Okere believes the new faces will fit in their system and style of play, having scouted them from last season, after parting ways with 11 regulars at the end of the  2023-24 FKF Premier League season.

Okere whose side beat Dandora Combined 3-1 in a friendly match at Dandora stadium today, is preparing for three pre-season friendlies in Kampala next week.

“I am happy with the team’s performances and fitness levels but we expect more difficult tests from  Ugandan top sides in Kampala next week, as we bring the training drills on difficult game situations,”  Okere added.

Tusker will be seeking to dethrone Gor Mahia off their perch next season, after finishing behind them in the last two seasons.
