Kitara’s squad continues to take shape ahead of the 2026/27 season with the signing of Missi Diego Semugera, who has agreed a two year deal.
He joins us after his three year contract with SC Villa expired at the end of last month.
The midfielder made sixty seven appearances for Villa over three seasons and helped the club end a two decade title wait in the 2023/24 campaign.
Semugera, regarded as one of the most intelligent, consistent and physically strong holding midfielders in the league, is no stranger to Hoima as he also turns out for the Bunyoro Province football team.
Speaking to club media after his unveiling, he said: “This is a new chapter for me and I’m excited that we’re going to compete on the continent with top teams. It’s a great opportunity to push myself further, and hopefully we achieve success together in the future.
“I’ve been playing against some of my friends in past seasons, but now we’ll be teammates. I can’t wait to meet them and get started.”
Semugera brings a winning mentality and leadership experience, having served as assistant captain of the Jogoos last season. Those qualities should strengthen a Kitara midfield that already includes Hussein Ssenoga and Alex Emmanuel Wasswa.
He has previously played for Police FC and Lugazi Municipal FC, and joins Ghanaian defender Bonney Christopher, Jackson and Martin Kizza, who have already been unveiled.
