UGANDA : KCC, Marines to recruit nine star players
KCC Leopards and Nkumba Marines head coach Timothy Odeke will recruit nine players to join his squads as they prepare for this year’s MTN-Fuba League.
Odeke has decided to strengthen the roster by adding four new players in the ladies team, KCC, and five players in the Mens’ squad, Nkumba Marines.
KCC reached the women’s final last season but were swept 4-0 by UCU Lady Canons, whereas Nkumba flirted with relegation mid-way only to hold on for a slot in the men’s division one.
Both teams, with two titles to their name apiece, have begun their training sessions and will be joined by the new members late next month.
“We are planning to officially announce their names around late February since we are still in talks with some of them,” Odeke said.
Nkumba lost forward Philip Wakimwero (work) and guard Ladislas Ikungura was in and out of the team, often spending time back home in Tanzania.
