Asiku, who has previously featured for Uganda's U-17 and U-20 teams, is a hugely talented defender who is yet to reach fulfill the potential he promised as a teenager.

At Vipers, he has been limited by injuries, alleged indiscipline, and the stiff competition at the club.

Over his four top-flight years at Kitende, Asiku has only played 37 league games, including seven last season.

Nonetheless, he is a three-time Uganda Premier League and two-time Uganda Cup winner, experience that could prove priceless at Wakiso Giants.
