Kiwanuka now joins a Villa side that also features his former Proline teammate Ivan Bogere.
SC Villa have unveiled winger Hakim Kiwanuka ahead of the new Startimes Uganda Premier League season that kicks off Friday.
The Jogoos confirmed their worst-kept secret Wednesday afternoon through the media channels.
“We have got a new 11. Hakim Kiwanuka is a blue. Welcome to the family,” Villa revealed.
The former Proline midfielder has been training with the Jogoos, and Pulse Sports reported about his concluded deal with the club on Monday.
Kiwanuka did not feature for any club last season and also had trials in Scotland as he attempted to break into the European market.
He now joins a Villa side that also features his former Proline teammate Ivan Bogere.
Kiwanuka will wear the Number 11 shirt.
The returning Charles Lwanga, who joined from rivals KCCA FC, and the now-injured Denis Ojara are the other players who will be tasked with getting goals for Villa.
Villa, under the tutelage of Serbian coach Dusan Stojanovic, have been busy in the transfer market, bringing in Peter Onzima, Simon Mukisa, Gavin Kizito, Elvis Ngonde, Abbas Kyeyune, among others.
The Jogoos will get their campaign going on Friday when they host newly promoted Kitara FC at Wankulukuku in Match Day One’s headline clash.
Having missed out on winning the title on the final day of last season, Villa will be hoping to add to their collection of titles this campaign.
