We are delighted to announce the marquee signing of talented forward Ronald Ssempala from fellow FUFA Big League side Police FC.
Ssempala joins the club on a two-year contract, that will see him feature for the Leaders until June 2025, but with an option for a further year.
The striker who will be a boost to our striking options has an impressive career history that includes playing for several notable clubs.
Before his stint at Police FC, which began in January 2023, Ssempala featured for Bright Stars FC in the Uganda Premier League from 2019 to 2021.
During this period, he managed to tally up an impressive 12 goals and 6 assists. Ssempala also had the opportunity to showcase his skills with the Ssingo Ssaza team in 2019.
Earlier in his career, he was part of Kiyinda Boys FC and Masaka Municipal FC, and he got his start in football at Masaka Secondary School.
Ssempala’s journey has not been without its challenges. Before joining Police FC, he had to overcome a year-long, career-threatening injury.
Demonstrating great resilience, he made a strong comeback, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists in just 7 appearances for Police FC, a quality that adds to the enthusiasm about his signing.
Upon finalizing the deal, Ronald Ssempala expressed his own excitement, stating, “It’s a pleasure to be here in Lugazi.”
“I’m very happy to be a part of this great club. I’ve played against Lugazi and I’ve seen them in lots of games in the Big League, and it’s my style of play.”
“There are some great players here and I think it’s going to suit my style of play here.”
“As I say, I’ve watched quite a lot and it’s a very big club and I hope I can give everything that I’ve got in order to help the team,” he told Lugazi FC TV.
We are confident that Ronald Ssempala will become a valuable asset to our squad, offering not just skill and flair but also an inspiring story of resilience.
Join us in welcoming Ronald to Lugazi FC as we look ahead to a season filled with promise and high aspirations.
