BUL Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of two new players, midfield schemer, Jerome Kirya and center back Douglas Muganga.

These two have signed a two-year contract each and join us from neighbours, Busoga United

“I am happy to join BUL FC and I am ready to give all I can to help the team succeed,” Kirya said after signing his contract.

Team Manager Alex Isabirye said the youngster was the missing piece in his team.

“We struggled a lot in the midfield last season. We needed someone who can create chances and I think he is that ‘boy’ Kirya. He is young, creative and very talented. I believe that problem is now solved.”

The midfield schemer made his debut in the Uganda Premier League in 2018/19 season after his meticulous growth through the youths ranks of his former team.

Meanwhile, Muganga said: “I am excited to be part of BUL FC and I promise fans success only.”

The two now brings the number of new recruits to seven on addition to Saidi Keni, Hannington Ssebwalunyo, George Kasonko, Ibra Nsimbe and Ivan Wani

Manager Alex Isabirye has promoted two more promising members of the junior team to the senior squad for the next season.

Owen Mukisa, 18 years old, and Herbert Onyango, 21, have impressed him and will now stay with the first team.

Attacking midfielder Mukisa joined the senior team bubble and made four first team outings last season and capped them with a goal against Kigezi Home Boys in Stanbic Uganda Cup in Kabale.

Onyango has been on the sidelines for a couple of seasons after he surpassed the age cap of junior football.

Onyango and Mukisa recently signed a five-year professional contract apiece with the Eastern Giants.

The club now boasts of seven talented players on the first team that have graduated from the juvenile side. Martin Aprem, Simon Peter Oketch and Thomas Kabale make that list, and others are Reagan Kalyowa and Hamis Tibita.

George Kasonko will play for BUL FC for at least the next two seasons.

Kasonko, 25, has this evening penned a two-year deal with us.

Upon his arrival Kasonko said; “BUL FC is the best team in Uganda. As it is with any other player, I also want to win trophies. The club has exciting objectives like winning the league and featuring on the continent. That is why I have come to join efforts with my teammates to see these dreams come true.”

Alex Isabirye, the BUL FC team manager, believes the genius central midfielder is a big fish hooked.

“George is a very good and responsible player. I expect the team to make big strides because I am confident he has come with great value.”

The anchorman joins us from city neighbours – Busoga United to make the total number of new arrivals to four.

BUL Football Club is delighted to announce the re signing of goalkeeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo from URA FC on a one year loan deal.

The 30 year old net minder has completed his medical and will now join the rest of the squad.

“I am pleased to comeback home. This is where everything in regard to my topflight football started from.”

“I promise to do my best to add value to the club. Therefore, the technical team and the fans should expect great performances from me.”

“Home is home and there is no place that is better than home. I now feel very good, calm and happy,” Ssebwalunyo told bulfc.co.ug.

He moved to BUL FC in 2017/18 season in which he made his Uganda Premier League debut before he made a switch to Maroons FC in 2019.

Eastern Giants team manager, Alex Isabirye, commented:

“We conceded silly goals last season. Ssebwalunyo is one of the best goalkeepers in the country and I am sure his experience will help the team improve in that department.”
