BUL FC goal hunter, Deogracious Ojok has now fully recovered from the knee injury that laid him off from competitive football for more than a half season. 

The lofty forward has already made two cameos this season in the league against URA FC and Kyetume.

Ojok said he has got his much fitness back and he is very much ready to offer all he can to burst nets and help BUL FC win honours.

“I have worked hard to return to full fitness and I am going to work so much harder to break into the first team again. My target is to score more than ten goals in the remaining 25 games.”

The challenge before him now is that he has to dislodge the trio of Musa Esenu, Anwar Ntege and Paul Mbazira who have established themselves as the formidable forwards under the current head coach Arthur Kyesimira.

Before the injury, Ojok had already netted six goals in 2019/2020 season and was the principal striker under former head coach, Peter Onen. His splendid performance and goal scoring prowess earned him a nomination for the best Uganda Premier League player of the season though he missed on the final short list for the award. 

BUL FC is in comprehensive preparations for league recommencement and has scheduled to play another friendly game against Jinja City neighbors and Big League newbies – Gadaffi FC on Saturday January 30, 2021 at Kyabazinga stadium in Bugembe at 4pm.

The Eastern giants, who have bagged four (4) points from five games sit in 12th position on the UPL table and will play KCCA FC when the league resumes in February.

Head coach Arthur Kyesimira has confirmed that Fredson Gwoto is BUL FC’s new captain.

The 26year-old has been at the club since he joined from Admin FC in 2019, the coach said he will now lead the team out with immediate effect.

“Gwoto will be wearing the captain’s armband with effect from today. We thank the outgoing leadership of captain Dennis Okot Oola and Jimmy Kulaba for taking the club to where it is now but we felt the group needed a fresh breath in life.” Assistant coach Dan Mubiru stated after the evening training session.

Equally, Gwoto was quick to appreciate the trust coaches have put in him.

I know this hasn’t come by mistake but rather working hard and doing what coaches expect out of me. Being disciplined, respectful and God-fearing are the other aspects of my strength.”  Gwoto revealed.

Fredson will be deputised by Walter Ochora, Jimmy Kulaba and Tibita Hamisi as 2nd, 3rd and 4th team captains respectively.

This is not the first team Gwoto is captaining, but he is also the current skipper of Bukeddi Province team and he was Admin FC’s team captain before joining BUL FC.
