Sentamu has since shunned the national team and refused to join the team when called by Micho last year.
In the last season, he played a pivotal role, helping Bright Stars secure the ninth position in the 15-team SUPL log with 35 points.
During this period, he scored five league goals, with only Nelson Ssenkatuka surpassing him with eight goals at the club.
Loki's arrival at KCCA is a significant addition, especially since the club has seen the departure of their 2022/23 top scorers, Rogers Mato and Allan Okello, who scored eleven and six goals, respectively.

However, the Portuguese tactician stressed a number of players are yet to get to the required frame of mind to compete at the top level.
He will compete with other new signings like Angolan Openga Katenga and Muhammad Shaban in the hunt for KCCA goals.
Loki has inked a two-year contract, hoping to make a substantial impact at Lugogo.
This success could translate to more game time for him in the national team under the yet-to-be-appointed new head coach.
