We are pleased to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Lumumba Norman Eluzai.
The 19 year-old South Sudanese gifted youngster has completed the move to Lugazi FC on a three year contract, and will become the first foreigner to play for the Leaders.
One of the most promising midfield architects in the CECAFA region, Lumumba can effectively operate through the middle and is also capable of being deployed on either attacking flank.
An accomplished South Sudanese international at the youth level, Lumumba’s attacking prowess and shrewd creativity was key as the South Sudan U-20 national team reached the quarter finals of the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in 2023. He was also part of the junior Bright Stars at the 13th All Africa Games in Ghana last year.
He is hugely excited with the opportunity of joining the Leaders.
“It’s a fresh start to prove my worth, adapt to a new environment and aim for huge success as we write the story together. But most importantly, this is a great opportunity for me to grow as a player,” he said.
“Surely, I have been following this team. Its fantastic style of play attracted me to come here as I believe it can also give me an opportunity to grow in a more competitive environment.”
“I definitely believe Lugazi FC can give me the platform to challenge myself and also gain exposure.”
“But what is most important is; working hard, understanding what the coach requires from me, building healthy relationships with the teammates and staying patient and confident.”
Welcome to the Leaders, Lumumba!
