Lugazi FC proudly announces the arrival of seasoned defender Savio Kabugo, who has joined the club on a two-year contract.
Kabugo brings a wealth of experience and a burning desire to contribute to the club’s ambitions. Kabugo, a stalwart defender, departed his former club, Jwaneng Galaxy, in October of last year.
Since then, he has been diligently honing his skills through individual training, preparing for the next chapter in his illustrious career.
The defender’s journey to Lugazi FC began in January 2022 when he joined Jwaneng Galaxy on a one-year contract with an option for a further year.
During his tenure, Kabugo played a crucial role in helping the club secure a commendable third-place finish and contributed a goal to their cause.
While out of professional club action, Kabugo remained committed to the game by featuring for Nkima in the Bika Football tournament and representing Buganda Province in the FUFA Drum.
Kabugo’s football resume boasts experience with some of the biggest clubs in Uganda, including KCCA FC, URA FC, SC Villa, and Proline FC.
His talent has also taken him beyond Uganda’s borders, as he has previously played for Congolese giants AS Vita Club and Ethiopia’s Sebeta Kenema FC.
Speaking about his move to Lugazi FC, Kabugo expressed his excitement and dedication to the club’s vision: “I am profoundly humbled and immensely honored to join Lugazi FC,” he shared in his first interview with the club’s media.
“This is a truly special moment in my career, and I cannot express how privileged I feel to be part of this exceptional journey.”
“The moment I became aware of Lugazi’s ambitions, the club’s unwavering determination to rise to the summit, it became crystal clear to me that this is where I belong,” he added.
Kabugo continued to reflect on his journey: “The path that led me here has been a long and challenging one. I have faced adversaries on the field, shared moments of triumph, and weathered storms of defeat.”
“It’s through these experiences that I have grown both as a player and as a person. And now, I bring those lessons, that wisdom, to this incredible club.”
“I have already had the pleasure of meeting my new teammates, and I must say, it’s a formidable squad filled with talent, ambition, and hunger for success.”
“Together, we will write new chapters of greatness and carve our names in the annals of football history.
“To the club fans, he promised: “You will witness a player who leaves his heart and soul on the field, a relentless fighter, a defender who will give his all to protect our colors, and a leader who will carry the responsibility of our legacy with unwavering pride.”
Lugazi FC kicks off the new season with a home game against Ndejje University on September 29th.
The club will also host an event next week, giving fans the opportunity to meet and greet all the signings made during the transfer window.
