We have strengthened our midfield ranks with the signing of Nicholas Kasozi, who joins the Royals as a free agent after parting ways with Tanzanian Premier League side Kagera Sugar FC.
The defensive midfielder has put pen to paper on a two year contract, reuniting him with coach Wasswa Bbosa.
“I’m delighted that I’m going to be playing in the Uganda Premier League again, and for Kitara Football Club,” Kasozi said after completing his move. “I’ve worked with coach Wasswa Bbosa before and he is one of the coaches that helped me grow my career, so I hope our reunion will be a great one.At Kitara, I bring healthy competition and character to the team, and I believe we shall succeed together.”
Composed, hard-working and comfortable in tight spaces, Kasozi is the kind of midfielder who quietly dictates the tempo of a game. It’s his range of passing and his eye for building attacks from deep that first caught the attention of Kitara’s technical bench.
His career has taken him across some of Uganda’s biggest clubs. It began with eye catching displays for the now defunct Synergy FC, performances that earned him a big move to SC Villa in 2017 and launched him into the top flight. From there he went on to turn out for KCCA FC, Express FC and Kyetume FC, before crossing the border to test himself in Tanzania with Kagera Sugar.
Now back on home soil, Kasozi will be counted on to bring both steel and composure to a Kitara side preparing for a demanding season ahead, one that spans the FUFA Super 8, the Uganda Premier League, the Uganda Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup.
For Coach Bbosa, having a player he already knows and trusts anchoring the midfield could prove invaluable as the club chases success on multiple fronts.
