The 29-year-old had also been linked with a move to Yanbian Longding Football Club, lower-division club in China.

The opportunity to play for a club steeped in history and adorned with success proved irresistible, ultimately swaying Lwanga's decision in favour of APR.
APR FC will sign foreign players for the first time in ten years, with the Rwanda army side adopting a 100% nationalistic approach to its team recruitment in 2012, restricting to field only Rwandan citizens.
Lwanga’s arrival is expected to be followed by the acquisition of DRC national Pavelh Ndzila, Etiole de Congo goalkeeper and Cameroonian defender Ngweni Denis Ndasi.
APR has reportedly also contacted Vipers SC to inquire about the availability of their captain, Milton Karisa, who was crowned the StarTimes Uganda Premier League best player at the league awards on Thursday.

The holding midfielder joins APR as a free agent after his contract with Djibouti side Arta Solar was mutually terminated in January, with 18 months to run after several breaches by the club.
Despite not being active for the last six months, Lwanga remained a top target especially after his stint with Tanzania’s Simba SC which he helped to a domestic double in 2021.
It was Lwanga's crucial goal in the 2021 Tanzania FA Cup final, held in Kigoma, that further cemented his status as a player of immense potential and match-winning capabilities.
His performance at the 2019 AFCON tournament in Egypt earned him a move to Tanta FC, where he made 11 appearances before leaving for Simba.
