Newly promoted FUFA Big League side Ntugasaze have snapped up versatile defender Enock Katamba ahead of the new season.
The centreback, who played for Kigezi HomeBoyz last season was very keen on joining newly promoted first division side Mbale Heroes, but ultimately reversed his decision to continue in the Big League.
Ntugasaze had earlier on expressed interest in the defender, who was instead more interested in joining Mbale Heroes’ UPL project, but “things just didn’t go as planned,” according to the player’s camp.
Katamba had successful talks with Bakhebi, after which the player even travelled upto Mbale to finalize the deal, but it fell through as some ‘personal terms’ couldn’t be agreed on.
Katamba is a strategic addition for the Mityana-based side, as he can comfortably play in central defence, as well as operate effectively in midfield.
His physical strength plus technical ability – with and without the ball are attributes that cover up for his rather slow pace on the field of play. Katamba is a hard tackler and long passer – he does both efficiently.
The midfielder cum defender has gathered enough experience playing competitively at different levels of Ugandan football.
He featured for YMCA in the University Football League, but it is mostly in the Masaza tournament where he honed his craft, featuring for Ssingo, Buddu and Kabula respectively.
Katamba had also previously played for Buwambo United and Gorilla Highlands in the Regional League before joining Kigezi HomeBoyz in the Big League.
