FOOTBALL What next for playmaker Allan Okello after ending Paradou marriage?
Okello played 16 matches in his first season at Paradou, scoring once before adding another two goals the following campaign.
His return to Uganda will now see him reuniting with former teammate Ivan Bogere to lead the line and search for goals as the Jogoos attempt to add to their collection of silverware.
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.

FOOTBALL Why Kankonde dumped KCCA FC
The Congolese forward disappeared after KCCA FC's 3-2 win over S.C Villa in the FUFA Super 8 third/fourth place playoff and has since not returned to the side.
Having lost some of the key players from last season, Villa needed to beef up, and Kiwanuka comes in as a young talent with a future ahead of him.
SC Villa will start their league campaign against newly promoted Kitara FC on Friday at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, and it remains to be seen if Kiwanuka will go straight into the team.
