Denis Omedi has set his eyes on becoming the Uganda Premier League top scorer of the 2023/24 campaign.
Omedi joined Kitara on a two year deal last month from Masindi based outfit Booma FC.
He scored a record 22 goals for the Tukyate Boys and went on to win the 2022/23 FUFA Big League top scorer’s gong.
At Kitara, the forward is eager to replicate that form when the league kicks off off next month with an away fixture versus SC Villa at Wankulukuku stadium.
“My aim is to work harder, win games with my team and also become the leading scorer in the league this season,” he told Kitara FC media during an interview.
Denis Omedi who will also be making his debut in the league is already excited about the new challenge.
” I can’t wait to get started. Well, I know it won’t be that easy but to be the best you must test yourself with the best and, I’m set.”
” The opponents and teams at this level may vary in terms of style of play but quality wise we are almost at the same level, ” Omedi added.
Asked about the toughest opponent he has faced, the Lira born player revealed that Geofrey Wasswa who recently joined Buna Coffee FC in Ethiopia and David Kasaija always make playing against them hard.
” Geofrey Wasswa is good at one against one duels and reading the game while Kasaija’s speed frustrated me in all the encounters we met.”
” I’m sure there are new faces I will meet in the league but hopefully they won’t be as tough as the other duo.”
The Uganda Cranes marksman has already looked lively in the preseason games the Royals have played so far. He netted in our 2-1 win over Kibuli Select last Tuesday.
Denis Omedi is without a doubt one of the fans’ favorite new signings that will be officially unveiled at the Kigaaya playgrounds this Saturday 26, August .
