FOOTBALL Taddeo Lwanga gets preseason underway as APR beef up technical bench
The hard-tackling midfielder, who recently joined Rwandan top side APR FC on a two-year deal, has hit the ground running as his side got their preseason underway in Kigali this week.
Goalkeeper Simon Tamale and forward Charles Bbaale are the latest additions to a Rayon Sport side from Maroons and SC Villa, respectively joining Musa Esenu and Joackim Ojera.
Ojera had a stand-out campaign with ‘Gikundiro’ last season, scoring five goals and assisting seven times in as many games but left the side after his loan spell ended at the end of the season.

FOOTBALL Rayon Sports fundraiser to pay Ugandan player’s sign on fee gains momentum as half of the money is raised
Ojera joined the Rwandan side on loan from URA FC last season. However, the club decided to make his move permanent, but the winger asked for Ugx 76M for his signature, which led to the club starting a fundraising drive on the 18th of July.
The club then launched a fundraising drive to raise his sign-on fees of Ugx 78M, which was collected, and Ojera returned to training.
Pulse Sports has yet to establish the duration of his contract extension, but it’s understood to be two years.
