Uganda Revenue Authority Football Club has announced that five stars have renewed their contracts with the club until at least June 2017.
The five stars include Uganda Cranes striker Robert Ssentongo (27), Allan Munaaba (26), Senkoomi Samuel (21), Sekitto Samuel (22) and Elkanah Nkugwa (22).
The development was confirmed by the club on their official website yesterday.
“Am delighted to have extended my playing time with URA FC for the next two years, I have been with the team for the last eight years and there is a lot I have to do for my team and I promise the best of me next season,” Allan Munaaba remarked.
The ‘Tax Collectors’ are under the charges of Moses Basena who also doubles as the Uganda Cranes assistant to head coach Micho. Basena finished off last season at army side Simba as an interim coach.
He now steps into the shoes of Alex Isabirye who quit the club at the end of the season before being named BUL FC’s new head coach.
Basena will be deputized by former Uganda Cranes assistant coach and former BUL FC coach, Kefa Kisala.
“We are delighted that the five have signed new contracts. They are young talented players with great vision for the club and we believe they will be instrumental in the team’s success next season,” reads Kefa Kisala’s statement on the club’s website.
The duo (Basena and Kisala) will serve at the club for the next three years.
