It is with great pride that we announce the signing of striker Lutakome Jumah Junior from Paidha Black Angels on a one-year contract.

The forward is our fifth signing of the mid-season transfer period as we prepare for the second round of the Uganda premier league.

Lutakome has been outstanding for Paidha Black Angels in the past three years as he helped the WestNile side win two trophies, as well as earn promotion to the FUFA big league last season.

He was an influential figure, and scored one of the goals when they defeated Northern Gateway 2-0 in the promotional playoffs at Bar Okoro stadium in June last year.

Speaking about the move, he said:

“It is a great opportunity for me to play in the Uganda premier league. When I heard of the interest from Lugazi FC, I never thought twice. It has always been my dream to play for a big team. I can’t wait to get started, enjoy the journey and help my team in any way I can.”

“The strong competition here has not scared me. I believe I can be the best player in my position, and with time, I will prove that to everyone.”

Lutakome developed his killer goal poaching instincts at Wobulenzi United where he scored 36 goals between 2018 and 2022. It was because of his fabulous performances that the club moved from the Luweero district fourth division to the Buganda regional league – winning two league trophies in the process.

He also guided Gomba to their record fifth Buganda Masaza Cup title in 2020.

A versatile forward, capable of; leading the line, playing as a number ten and cutting in from wide areas, Lutakome’s high end dribbling skills are quite rare. His ball control art leaves many in awe and when he decides to shoot, his team-mates and fans alike should be ready to celebrate.

He joins his new team-mates immediately, and everyone at Lugazi FC welcomes him to the club.
